I made this recipe when it first came out in Taste of Home in 1994 and made it for years. I lost the recipe and I am very happy to find it again. It was a favorite with all that tried it.

Have made similar recipe many times using Oj instead of cranberry juice, no sugar, and cinnamon as spice. I never found it necessary to thicken sauce. Also added chopped onion and mushrooms.

This was excellent. The meat was tender and had lots of flavor. The sauce/gravy was really tasty.

So quick and I usually have these ingredients on hand. The pork was moist and full of flavor! I cannot count how many times I have made this, but it was an instant favorite!

This was absolutely delicious, the sauce was super on mashed potatoes. Have already made it again, hubby loves it.
