Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

This turned out perfectly. The only change that I made was adding salt.

This was a great recipe. Very flavorful and the raisins added the perfect touch. I served it with brown rice. ***warning*** I let it simmer for the 15 minutes and it ran out of orange juice so the bottom burned. To fix this I would add a little extra orange juice and stir it several times during that 15 minutes, maybe turn it down. But it was a delicious recipe!
