"What I love about it is how simple it is. It's perfect for summer barbeques."

1.5 cup packed brown sugar

This recipe is the definition of "healthy". Nearly every ingredient is sugar. Of course it will taste good! It will also spike your blood-glucose, help your body store fat quickly and cause major blood inflammation. To add insult to injury, you add orange juice, which is essentially pure fructose. Fructose is not something humans were meant to ingest regularly. Case in point - your liver is the only part of the body which can break it down. However, you don't really want it to break fructose down as part of the citrate process gives you a nice dose of uric acid and VLDL.
The 'argument' that because it is natural and fresh...or even organic/non-GMO also does not mean it is good for your body.
Keep them coming!
