Quite delicious! Easy to make and put together. The sauce in particular was very good, I just wish there had been more of it. I left the meat in the marinade overnight and when I put the meat in the frypan there wasn't a lot of marinade left, less than a quarter cup. We really loved the marmalade flavour it added a lot to the sauce. Will be making this again, thanks for posting!

I currently live in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, although that will be changing shortly. I was living in Guatemala for the past few months, and plan on returning for a 2 year teaching assignment this coming January.
I have always loved to cook, and the more complicated recipe, the better. I also love any type of ethnic food, so most of the recipes you see in my cookbook are of that variety.
