Thin the corn starch with a little bit of cold water before you add it to the mixture, or else you'll end up with small clumps of corn starch in the finished recipe. Our family thought this recipe was too sweet.

Decrease the amount of sugar a little, use a good quality orange marmalade which shouldn't be very sweet, and add a good splash or two of cabernet savignon! These small changes made for a very easy but memorable sauce to use with left over baked ham.

This was a great base recipe to start from. I must admit I hardly ever follow a recipe exactly. The changes I made: I used dried cranberries instead of raisins. I left out the salt and sugar entirely. I used a shake of cinnamon along with the cloves. It was sweet and spicy and thick. Wonderful over ham or chicken.

I didn't have cloves so I left that part out of the recipe. I knew better to add the dry mixture to the boiling sauce and it did make clumps so I put everything in the blender and it turned out GREAT. I served it with a pork roast and my roommate couldn't stop eating it. It made a good amount of sauce so now I have some in the fridge and look forward to using it with some pork chops.

I would omit the sugar entirely as it is very sweet. I used pineapple juice instead of orange and cinnamon instead of cloves. Absolutely mix the cornstarch with a little water before adding to raisin mixture.

I rarely give five stars, but this one deserves it. Barb warmed it up for lunch the next day, and that is a rare occurance. Delicious!
