An unusual combination of cinnamon, chili powder, ginger and maple syrup gives these tender pork chops simply fantastic flavor! No one will believe this recipe is lower in fat. Ruth Gooding - Los Angeles, California

Ingredients

1 medium onion, chopped

These had an interesting flavor that I found very appealing. I will be making these again.

Pork chops were tender and flover was good and different because of the spices. I poured the juice on the rice and it was too sweet and the flavor was fair but not yummy.

This recipe is one of our favorites. I made it for our dinner guest and the response was, "It taste like Christmas!"

I usually save this recipe if I want to impress people with my cooking!

These were good and I would make them again, but they just weren't as flavorful as I was expecting them to be.

I actually made a BBQ sauce from the sauce ingredients and thickened with cornstarch and BBQ the chops in it. It was really good and the BBQ was good on the rice, which I made jasmine rice instead of white. Very good.
