I've made this recipe twice; first as a trial to get familiar with it and then for a dinner party of 18 people where I wanted to enjoy our guests and not be a slave to the kitchen - both times came out great. The second time I added a cup or so of frozen peas before serving because I liked the color in the stew. This is one of those recipes that's not too fancy but just tastes great - a keeper for your recipe box.

After making this recipe several times, I simply don't understand why anyone wouldn't make their own sauce. So easy to make and so much better than store bought. I have made it exactly like the recipe which is great and I've modified the percentages of orange juice/water and brown/white sugar which gives it a little different flavors. I've also added a pinch of cinnamon and orange zest. Whatever I've tried has come out delicious. Give it a try.

Very tasty. I used low sodium soy sauce and it came out great. I think this would be a terrific recipe for a summer time backyard dinner. It should be easy to expand and most of the cooking is done in the pot.
