Crystal Pork in Orange Sauce

When I was first married, I found this recipe in the Woman's Weekly. I used to make it so much because it was so quick and easy and great for unexpected friends who popped in. Everyone loved it. I lost the recipe and only found it again a few weeks ago, and I am going to make this again. I might make a change from pork to chicken and see how it turns out, but have posted the original recipe that I used to make.
