    The recipe calls for a 1lb bag. The bags at my store are 12oz. I failed to adjust the math and the sauce is too watery. Will pitch and try again.

    Easy and very simple to make. I did add just a touch of sugar to smooth some of the tartness. Love the taste of Orange and the maple syrup. Will definitely make again.
