This recipe really surprised me. I thought it would be too sweet, and that I would get complaints. Nope - my husband, who is the pickiest eater ever, said "This sauce is the sh**!" Well, vulgar as that may be, is the highest compliment coming from him. I heated the sauce and used it to put over the rice, but didn't make any other changes. Since I have quite a bit of canned cranberry sauce in the pantry, I can totally see myself making this again soon. In addition to the rice, I served this with Recipe #83524. -
I am famous for ruining pork chops and rarely make them because they are always dry. I found a pack on sale and decided to try it once more. These were moist and flavorful. The family devoured them. My 2, 5 and 7 year old kids all asked for more. Though my husband and oldest son didn't like the sauce, they did like the flavor of the pork chop and easily removed the sauce to eat the chop. I call this a keeper. -
I loved this! My oven is not working so I doubled the sauce and simmered the chops for about 40 minutes on the stove top in it. Very moist, tender, and full of flavor! Plus it smelled good! Thanks!

Some of the moistest and yummiest pork chops I have ever had! Even my 2-year old loved this.

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
