This is a family favorite. Every time I make it for company I am asked for the recipe. We have it at least once a month, and it is always a hit with my kids.

Made this for supper tonight - but I morphed the recipe completely. I used bone-in pork chops ('cause that's what I hand on hand) and seared them in a large skillet. I mixed the sauce ingredients together and poured it over the chops to finish cooking the meat through. When the meat was done, I pulled it to a platter and thickened the sauce with a slurry. Yummy! Yummy! Yummy! I think the sauce would be great on chicken too!

This is very similar to a Pork Roast recipe that I made, because my family likes sauerkraut, I use the Bavarian style sauerkraut with the cranberries. I really like combining these two flavors with the pork.

This was a wonderful sweet and savory meal! The gravy is not great if using it on mashed potatoes. But it was delightful on the pork. Definitely a keeper!

This recipe is certainly fast & easy. I expected it to have more flavor. I would use 2 Tbsp. cornstarch to thicken the juices a bit more the next time I make it.

I loved it! It remined me of having Red Cabbage with it. This is easy and simple to make. I made Green Bean Cassarole with it. I think my Mom would have loved it too (RIP Mom).

This is absolutely delicious. We make this atleast once or twice a month. The pork loin is always juicy, and if it turns out to be a little drier than you like just use the left over juice and it juices the pork right up. I'm making it tonight and my mouth is already watering in anticipation.
