It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Not clear if the rice is cooked or uncooked. If uncooked,soaks up all the liquids so no steam for pressure cooking!
There is plenty of liquid to get the pressure cooker going and build up steam before the rice absorbs it. If you put cooked rice in it will turn to mush and basically disintegrate.

My wife loved this, but I toned down the sugar content based on other reviews. I completely left out the orange marmalade, I only used half the brown sugar in the recipe, and used a full tsp. of ground ginger powder. Tasted great. The only improvement that could be made would be the presentation of it. Don't let the dull brown color (from the cinnamon) fool you, though. It's a delightful dish.

Used Cranberries instead of raisins. It came out perfect!! Tasted like we went to Hawaii for dinner. Dont over cook the oj and marmalade. It took like 3 minutes to disolve and the cranberries were not cooked. But when the cooker was done, everything was cooked to perfection!
I think this would work better without the brown sugar and maybe with a tablespoon if dark rum or 1 tsp. rum flavoring instead. That would cut the sweetness but still give you the sugar cane taste. maybe replace some of the orange juice with water, too.

I thought this recipe was wonderful!! My daughter was a little put off by the sweetness. I've made it a few times now and it's been great every time! It's even great as a leftover!

Yuck. Too much sugar content so the sauce burned under pressure. The meat needed seasoning badly. Won't make again.
