We loved this. I used homemade apricot jam. Next time I would decrease the amount of honey and increase the amount of jam for more flavor and the jam already is sweetened. Love this recipe! TFS!

This recipe was a big hit with my family. My 8-year-old said, "I was actually in love with the sauce!" It was super easy to make, too.

I used orange marmalade rather than apricot preserves because it was what I had. Turned out very good!

This is one of my favorite weeknight recipes: sweet, healthy, and super easy. I serve with green beans and brown rice.

Not bad, but I think that next time I would use 4 tbls. of the apricot preserves and only 3 tbles of honey to give it a little more flavor.
