"Recipe from our local Whole Foods Market. Looks interesting and different. I've never made this, so I am completely guessing at prep/cook times. Time to marinate fruit is not included."

This was excellent! I didn't have any oranges on hand (we fresh squeeze all of our juice) so I ended up doubling the sugar and used 1.5 tbsp. of lemon juice instead. Not sure if that impacted the intended original taste but it was still superb. Thanks!
