For a more nuanced flavor, consider using orange zest or a splash of orange liqueur. If you prefer a less sweet sauce, reduce the amount of sugar to 1 1/4 cups. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so don't be alarmed if it seems a bit thin while cooking. For a lighter color, use 2-3 cinnamon sticks in place of ground cinnamon. Remove the sticks before chilling.
