This was great! I love trying new things and this was worth it. Some of my guests thought the cranberries were raisins so I may try cann'd berries next time. But I really enjoyed this recipe. -
This was fantastic. Thanks Whisper for a great new way to cook pork chops. My kids even asked for seconds. -
Loved this recipe, I did have to alter it a bit the second time around. My family found the cloves too strong the first time around so for the next time, I halved the amount and they loved it. I boiled it down to make a gravy and served it over rice, good way to make pork chops. -
OMYum! I so enjoyed these flavors. Easy and fabulous. I would've been happy to serve them to company. I reconstituted the cranberries in the chicken broth before prepaing, and didn't have mandarin (which would've undoubtedly been better!), so I used navel orange sections. Still wonderful. You definitely have to like cloves for this to work. I cannot wait to make them again. Thank you! :D -
Loved the combination of the 3 flavors orange, berries and spice. The mandarin oranges worked great in this recipe. I have been giving low rateings on meat that had orange juice in it. Love OJ but I guess not with meats. So this is a keeper and I'll be making this on a regular bases. Thanks Whisper for a great recipe.

I live near Rochester NY with my husband and our 18-year-old cat, Fluffy. It's actually Fluffy's house, but he allows us to live here as long as we pamper him and feed him generously. Our daughter, Kree, whom some of you know from Zaar, is also living with us again while she begins a new business venture in real estate. She's the one who got me hooked on Zaar and taught me to try new recipes rather than stay in the cooking rut I was in.
In my free time I like to take long rides or sit by the water, both of which I find very relaxing. I also like to do counted cross-stitch and read. I dabble in photography, always looking for that elusive 'perfect' shot. I did more cooking before I started working full-time, and plan to again when I retire (still years away, but dreaming).
