We tried this for dinner tonight. Initially, I wasn't sure how the flavors would play together (the brown sugar, sour cream, vinegar, etc). When it all came together, I was pleasantly surprised by the tanginess of the sauce, although for my oven 1.5 hours at 325 must have been too much because most of the sauce had evaporated by the time I took them out. I was pretty impressed with the flavor, but my husband was only so-so and my 4 year old didn't want them. We'll probably still add it in to our rotation as another idea for pork chops. Thanks for posting! -
Hi! This was wonderful. It was very tender. Made for Spring PAC 2009.

These were DELICIOUS!! My husband loves pork, but it is sometimes difficult to get the kiddos to eat it. All of the kids love this. It was so tender, and flavorful! I didn't have sage, so I used basil, and it was YUMMY! Thanks for a great recipe!
