I only had one navel orange and a few oranges that had no title..weird! Even though I am feeding 7 people, I cut the recipe in half. The cooking time was too long, And directions weren't too clear. Also, I didn't understand if I would serve alone or as a topping or seasoning on a fancy cake. Other than that i would give it 4 stars :)
