Okay, I was thinking that all these spices mixed with syrup and chipotles was going to be a tad off. But OMG, this was AMAZING!!! Loved it. The only changes I made was to boneless sirloin chops instead of tenderloins and subbed cider vinegar for red wine. I will be making this often. My fiance has already requested it be made again this week. Thanks so much.

Made for My 3 Chefs June 2008. Excellent flavor and so so easy! Made this for our Father's Day celebration and it was a hit. I had originally intended to grill the pork instead of baking it in the oven, but the weather didn't cooperate so I baked it in the oven like the recipe said and it was wonderful. My mother asked for the recipe and I'm sure she'll make it quite often as will I. Thanks for posting this great recipe!!

I grew up in the Midwest and from a Swedish family, so I love food. My grandmother doesn't normally measure when she cooks and I kind of picked that up from her. Most of my dishes can't be repeated due to this. I love experimenting!!
