Good stuff!! DH loved it, too. Really tasty sauce. I had some boneless pork loin chops, so that's what I used, and they worked fine, but I want to try it with tenderloin. Next time I'm going to set aside some of the sauce before I stick the already-used basting brush back in it--that way I can safely put a little of it on at the table, after cooking.

Since discovering this site, I have been cooking much more and have found some incredible recipes. I absolutely love to cook and try out new recipes, but have a handful of family favorites that I make quite often. My husband loves to cook as much as I do. To avoid anyone monopolizing the kitchen, we have to designate who gets to cook dinner in advance. He specializes in Asian cuisine and I love trying new healthy recipes.
