My favorite kind of recipe: I can make many variations. In this instance, I made half the marinade, saving 2 tablespoons for brushing on, and separately marinated 1 thick pork chop and 1 boneless chicken breast in small zip seal bags. Both were broiled for about 20 minutes and made me 2 delicious meals. Served the chop with a side of Recipe #172422, and the chicken was dinner the next night. I am going to try this next time with pineapple preserves and cinnamon, and the meat can be cubed and kabobbed. Thanks for a wonderful recipe Kitcharen. Made and enjoyed for PAC Spring '09.
