Enjoyed the orange flavor with the pork chops. I used boneless pork chops and marinated them overnight. Since I dont have a juicer I cut the pith off the orange first and than squeezed the juice. My gravy was a thicker than I like so I added some orange juice. Served over brown rice which went well with the citrus flavors of the gravy.
