I made enough for two Thanksgiving dinners and it was the hit of both. I bet it would even taste good on vanilla ice cream. -
Wonderful combination of flavors, and it could not be easier to make! -
Served this first at Thanksgiving -- was a huge hit. Tried it again with kumquats instead of oranges -- worked great. Served with grilled salmon -- exquisite.
