I was looking for a baked pork chop recipe. Tried this tonight since I had the sweet potatoes. Sorry to say it wasn't a keeper. My husband will eat anything and never complains. The pork chops weren't as tender as I would have preferred.

This recipe was a serendipitous find. I just happened to have sweet potatoes and the DH wanted pork chops. I did a couple of substitutions - used Blackberry Jam (didn't have any currant jelly) and added dried currants, and added a pinch of rosemary. Rather than baste the dish, I poured all of the sauce over the chops, covered the pan, and roasted for 30 minutes. Had plenty of sauce and the sweet potatoes were really tasty! Will make again. Talk about a great autumn comfort meal!!! Well, an anytime comfort meal! Thanks Grand!

I made these tonight, flavor was ok, but the family thought there was definitely not enough sauce. The sweet potatoes were dry and the 6 tablespoons of sauce disappeared in the casserole really quickly and basting didn't really help much. I would double the quantity for sauce next time. I also didn't brown chops in shortening, I used olive oil.
