I was leery of this recipe, but took a chance because I wanted something different. This was a definite pleaser with me and my husband, but my daughter didn't care for it (big surprise). We will be making this again! Already gave you props on FB! lol

My family loved this recipe. Although we left out the cloves and next time i would cut the cinnamon in half. Also would be good with chicken.

I didn't know how this would come out just looking at the recipe but it was deeelicious! The orange flavor came through wonderfully. Will definitely make again. Thanks foxysnana.
