Tomato and Orange Sauce

Here is a really loose recipe for a sauce I really like. It comes from a French friend of mine, and we eat it on grilled fish, but I'm sure it would be tasty on other foods. The amounts and forms of the ingredients can be played with, depending upon a person's tastes. Also, you can use fresh, or canned produce, or even juice. I puree it with an immersion
