You had my mouth watering at brown sugar. I love the combination of pork and brown sugar. You made the recipe even better with the orange juice. I love the combinations you picked. I think the ingredients pair well together. What consistency do you like your sauce to get to before serving? Does it set up any more when it is cooling off?
