Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Try this delicious boiled orange frosting for a refreshing twist on your favorite desserts. In just 15 minutes, you'll be stirring together a silky orange frosting that's perfect for any occasion.

1/4 cup butter, softened
4 tablespoons cake flour
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup orange juice
3 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
Fill a bowl with ice and water that is large enough to hold a large, heavy saucepan. You want the ice/water to come partway up the sides of the pan.
Melt the butter in the saucepan over medium-low heat.
Remove from the heat and quickly whisk in the flour and salt.
Return the pan to the burner and gradually whisk in the orange juice. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Note: the mixture may look curdled.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the powdered sugar until mixed. Place the pan in the bowl of ice water and beat the frosting until it is the right consistency.
Stir in the grated orange peel and use as desired.
Add food coloring when you mix in the confectioners' sugar if you want a stronger orange color.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
