I completely understand why this made it to the Best Of game. Hubby kept saying "this is so, so good!" throughout the meal. Made exactly as written except left out the nuts and used craisins. I could eat this every day and not complain. Loved the flavor that came from cooking the bulger in orange juice - and of course everything is good with mint in it. This is going into MY Best of 2022 file, for sure. Thanks for sharing!
