I love to serve this sauce with Christmas ham, but it's also great for a weeknight meal. With a burst of flavor in every bite, these boneless chops are sure to become a family favorite. -Priscilla Gilbert of Indian Harbour Beach, Florida

This was really great! My family really liked it and for once, I didn't have to make a special run to the store for the ingredients!
