We had some orange marmalade that was a little tart for us to handle on toast. I have a dinner I call the 3 P's dinner (I can't believe I have never posted it here) that involves pork (usually country ribs), pineapples (usually fresh precut but canned will work in a pinch, and you may certainly choose to wrestle a whole one), and peppers (usually fresh sweet mini peppers but yellow and orange bell peppers work beautifully.)
Anyway, I am trying a twist on that recipe tonight.
I browned salt and peppered country ribs in a big pan with a few glugs of olive oil. I added chopped onions, and peppers. In a pot, a put I about a cup of pineapple juice (left over from the inauguration party) and most of a jar of orange marmalade with lovely slivers of orange peel. I added a scant half a cup of sugar. That reduced at a lively simmer into a syrup while the pork browned.
I poured the syrup on the pork after the pork browned on all sides. I added a bunch of minced garlic and chopped fresh basil.
Wish me luck. I may post reviews and pics.

It was a tasty, huge success. The schmutz of onions, peppers, garlic, basil and onion peel was scrumptious.
And as for the review, S suggested I take an "after" photo:
