Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling and assemble the wraps a few hours ahead of time. Just keep them tightly wrapped in plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out. It's best to store the sauce separately and add it just before serving to maintain the freshness.
What if I don't have orange marmalade?
If you don't have orange marmalade, you can substitute it with apricot or peach preserves for a similar sweetness and texture. Alternatively, mix honey with a splash of orange juice as a quick homemade option.
Can I freeze the wraps?
Yes, you can freeze these wraps. Wrap them tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap, then store them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then warm in the microwave or skillet.
