For a deeper, richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. If you don't have fresh orange juice, bottled orange juice will work, but fresh is always preferred. To prevent the glaze from burning in the microwave, use a large, deep bowl and stir frequently during cooking. The glaze can also be made on the stovetop in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Consider adding a pinch of ground cloves or cinnamon to the glaze for a warm, spiced flavor.
