"My husband and two kids rave over these moist chops," reports Robin Czachor of Appleton, Wisconsin. "Use the mild sweet-and-sour sauce to make a gravy that can be served over mashed potatoes or rice," she suggests. "Then add a salad and you have a very satisfying meal that didn't keep you in the kitchen for hours."

My husband was skeptical the first time I made this recipe, but it has since become one of our favorites. However, I am not a big fan of slow cookers, so I make this on top of my stove and allow it to simmer for an hour or so before we want dinner and I think it has better flavor from the stove top. I always serve this with garlic/cheesy mashed potatoes and some sort of a veggie - mostly brussel sprouts. LOVE this and have shared with many friends, too!

Excellent flavor. I didn't have chops on hand and used pork riblets. They were so tender and falling apart. I also did not make the gravy. Have had requests for the recipe.

Great recipe! We loved the flavor! I didn't make the gravy. We liked the juice/sauce just as it was.

We always have left over cranberry sauce after Thanksgiving and this is the perfect way to use it up. Excellent sweet/tart gravy that is simple to make yet tastes fancy!

Great flavor! I didn't add the sugar, and was glad I didn't. Also tossed in a hot pepper for a little subtle kick. Served with couscous. A LOT of flavor depth for just a couple of ingredients.
