This is definitely a great great pork & mandarin orange sauce recipe. Our family is a huge sauce fan so I included all the juice from the mandarin oranges and then thicken the sauce with water & cornstarch. I also doubled the cloves to give a good clove spice kick. Adding this recipe to the monthly dinner routine.

Very yummy. I had two large boneless pork steaks, so I cut each into 3 pieces; I didn't have the equivalent of 6 pork chops but I left the sauce ingredients as is. I don't know why I expected this to somehow turn into a glaze -- perhaps because of the brown sugar -- so I was a little disappointed when I discovered I had a relatively thin sauce. No worries though, I just thickened it up with a little water/cornstarch mixture and I had a lovely sauce that was delicious over rice. This was very easy to prepare and 45 minutes was perfect as the cooking time. The only thing I added was a good grinding of black pepper. Thanks for posting!

I LOVE to cook and eat and read cookbooks. My kitchen really does overfloweth with them and of course this has quickly become my favorite cooking site! I live with my husband in a small town in eastern Connecticut. We are both retired. My children are all grown and have families of their own now. Our 3 grandchildren and 1 great-granddaughter all live in Florida and it goes without saying that we miss them very much, so when my husband retired last year we celebrated by buying a small RV! We so enjoyed driving it to Florida to spend the holidays with the little ones. Although COVID has prevented us from repeating the trip this year, I am enjoying learning new recipes to make in our RV for next year. I think the Instant Pot and the Crock Pot will be my new best friends while traveling!
