Wow! This is one of the best and easiest recipes for pork chops I've ever made. The pork turned out tender, and the veggies were a delicious treat. I left out the water because I felt that there was enough water in the diced tomatoes. I also added a tiny bit of flour to the chops before sauteeing them. This recipe is a keeper, for sure.

My first time making quinoa. WOW! This one is a keeper! I used chicken broth instead of veg broth and olive oil instead of butter. Delicious.

Absolutely perfect! I followed the recipe exactly. I used two different types of apples (some tart green apples and some red delicious). After peeling and coring them, I ran them through the food processor so that they were very finely chopped. I stirred the mixture at least once per hour and didn't have a problem with anything burning in the crockpot. When it was almost finished, I used an immersion blender to blend everything for a nice, smooth texture. I found that the very last step where you leave the lid off the crockpot and let the mixture cook down required a much longer time than given. I let it go for at least three hours and it could have maybe gone a little longer. I poured the mixture into sterile jars and canned them in the pressure canner for about 10 minutes (same as for applesauce). The end result was a smooth, kind of thick texture and a stunning deep red color (not like the "peanut butter" color in the main picture on the recipe page). It has been delicious on homemade scones. One thing I noticed is that the scent and the taste were a little different from each other. When I tasted it, it didn't taste exactly like I expected based on the smell. Still absolutely delicious and very, very easy. This one is a keeper!
