This is super good. The orange flavor with the yams & pork is so good. I cooked the chops and yams uncovered for the last 20 minutes allowing the syrup to brown and coat both the chops and the yams - I kept rotating the yams. I used brown sugar substtute and cut back a bit This is an "Impress the Folks" recipe Thanks HF PS excuse the slice of lemon in the picture I didn't have an orange and I thought it looked nice. -- posted Sep 16, 2004
