The flavor of this dish was great! I somehow screwed up on the sauce and it unfortunately "broke" on me, but still tasted fine. (Just didn't look so pretty...) Will definitely try again, though. Thanks for a good and easy recipe, Junkie.

This was so great! One of those dinners where you linger at the table, savoring how delicious the pork tasted, taking swipes at the empty platter with your finger to get a last taste of the sauce. The only thing I did differently with this recipe was to cut back the amount of half-n-half; I used 1 cup. I served this with Barb Gertz's Muddled Herb Red Potatoes and we all thought the potatoes with the pork was fabulous...a little sweet corn on the side along with a multi-grain French baguette made this a perfect dinner. Thank you for posting this!!
