    I have not made this dish because the directions say both sugar with the flour and there is only brown sugar listed in the recipe that I read.

    A very tasty side dish that complimented the roasted chicken I made for the family. Everyone loved it.

    Amended the order of the recipe. Mix all dry ingredients. Warm up the orange juice and honey so the honey blends into the liquid. Add vanilla. Pour over parboil potatoes.

    I made this for my brother in law who was recently diagnosed with diverticulosis. Main thing was he loved it. Bonus, we loved it two. I think in the directions it says both sugar, but clearly it should have been brown sugar. Definitely will make this again.
