"This is from the Town and Country Cooking put out by WALB-TV in 1996. I have tried it once and wrote in the book that it was good. The first 8 ingredients are for the marinade for the pork. When I make this again, instead of using Tabasco I plan to use chili sauce. I think it was submitted by the Department of Agriculture in Atlanta. I did not time this recipe."

I wish to thank everyone who has reviewed and tried my recipes. I appreciate any helpful hints provided. I have been collecting recipes since 1965. In 1987 I started going through my many books and clippings and making weekly menus. If I like the new recipes I try, I enter them in my own cookbook.
