The sauce was too much like spagetti sauce. I cooked the pork chops in the sauce for hours and it was tender, but the pork flavor was diminished; I would prefer to taste the pork more.

Cinnamon Rolls

This recipe is easy and great tasting. I make up a batch in my bread maker, then prepare the rolls on a cookie sheet(except icing), and stick the pan in the freezer, then bag up in a freezer baggie. I take them out the night before, place on a cookie sheet and let thaw over night, ready to bake in the morning. I make several batches up for last minute breakfasts.
