Cashew Orange Sugar Snap Peas

This is a FLORIDA'S Choice Recipe ~ after all it is made with oranges isn't it ;-).

*Ingredients*

1 (1-lb) pkg. frozen Sugar Snap Peas
1/3 cup orange juice
1 tbs. honey
1 tsp. cornstarch
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp grated orange peel, if desired
1/4 cup cashews
 

*Preparation*

Cook peas as directed on the package; drain.  (Actually I cook them by putting a couple of cups of water in a steamer and steaming them till they are tender crisp - it only takes a few min. - that is the way I do most vegetables.)

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, mix orange juice, honey, cornstarch and salt until well blended.  Cook over med. heat until mixture boils and thickens, stirring constantly.  Stir in orange peel and cashews; stir in peas. 
 

Serves:   6 (1/2 cup) servings
