"This recipe is great. I have made this for years although instead of mandarin oranges I use strawberries. Maybe next time I will try the oranges...." See more"

"I'm on my 3rd time making this right now and it has been a huge hit both previous times. I used pine nuts both times instead of almonds (just cuz that's what I had, I think the almonds will be better ..." See morethough) and it turned out great too. I'm cutting the sugar a bit each time, but wanting to keep the vinegar balanced. "
