I halved this recipe and used 2c orange juice instead of the concentrate/water blend. I also used cornstarch instead of whipping cream to thicken the sauce in the end. I imagine it would have been amazing with cream, but wanted to avoid the calories. The flavor balance was strong and great without it to me, but a bit too strong for some others. I thought it was a great balance. Thanks for posting! -
This was easy to make. The sauce tasted a bit bland to me, maybe sprinkle the clove powder in the orange juice instead of on the roast
