\n\t\t\tFrom the Recipe Creator:<\/span>\n\t\t\tWe try to eat a variety of foods, and although we like pork, it really has very little flavor. One night I was fixing some beautiful boneless pork loin chops and decided to add a fruity sauce. The chops ended up being moist and juicy, and the sauce was delicious. This dinner, perfect served over rice, takes less than 30 minutes. It is wonderful for weeknight meals but nice enough for company too. \u2014Donna Gribbins, Shelbyville, Kentucky\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\tFrom the Recipe Creator:<\/span>\n\t\t\tThis is my go-to dish for both special occasions and weekday dinners because it's so easy and delicious. We love it because the pork tenderloin is, without fail, moist and tender. The sauce is the true star. In fact, this past Thanksgiving, my husband suggested it would be good to have available along with turkey gravy and he was right. It was a huge hit! \u2014Kim Wells, Worthington, Ohio\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\tFrom the Recipe Creator:<\/span>\n\t\t\tThis delicious pasta sauce originated after I noticed a box of onion soup packets in my cupboard.
