Broccoli with Orange Sauce

SUBMITTED BY: Estelle Hardin

This recipe was fabulous! The only thing I did different was microwave the broccoli instead of steaming it. Colorful, scrumptious and splendid presentation with the orange garnish. And EASY !!!!! This was perfect just the way the recipe reads.I'll certainly use this often.

Great recipe! You don't see fruit paired up with vegetables very often. Definitely better than plain ol' broccoli!

Easy to make, flavorful, and a nice change from boring old steamed broccoli.
