We enjoyed this recipe very much. I had never used five spice before but was pleasantly surprised. The recipe was easy to make. Thanks for posting. Made for PAC Fall 2008.

this is sooo good, plus it's super easy and fast. just what i need as i just had my 2nd baby and i'm trying to figure out how to keep my family from starving to death. oh, i didn't have apple juice, so i just used what i had in the fridge...cranberry/raspberry from costco.

I was intrigued by this recipe because it promised to make you swallow your tongue. Not wild about my son's new girlfriend, so I thought hey, if I can have her for dinner AND make her swallow her tongue, that's just a bonus. We all adored the chops - terrific recipe - but alas, she chirps on, to torment me and fray my nerves. The tongue swallowing is misleading.
