Ingredients:

1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2cup packed brown sugar
1/2cup white sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp ground ginger

Method:

In a medium mixing bowl, combine honey, orange juice and sugars and whisk until combined. Add remaining ingredients, stirring to incorporate.
