I used pork chops and it was great. I may double the "sauce" next time. My husband insists on having "gravy" and this sauce was tasty on rice.

This was a huge success! I used Smucker's Sugar-Free Peach Preserves and added a vidilia onion. Served it with/over whole wheat cous-cous and a hearty vegetable salad. It was loved by all and reheats perfectly.

I did not have sherry...so used white wine instead. I followed it exactly like the recipe said other than that. Another fantastic dish! Now, my dish, for some reason, was darker than that in this picture...so don't worry if yours looks like mine! I'm not sure why...but it tasted fantastic anyway! Again...big critic hubby loved it! I'm a teacher and home for the summer...he's starting to like me being home!!!! Yes...make for the family! He was spooning sauce with a spoon...and eating it like soup! :( Good choice!
