I have had this recipe in my recipe box since 2004. I have looked at it more times than I can count - wondering how so many people rated such a simple, boring recipe 4 stars. Usually, I like to cook meals that are a bit more elaborate than 4 ingredients - but I just couldn't pull it off tonight. So with pork chops out for dinner, I decided to make this dish....and the result was FABULOUS!! Although I did change things a bit (I seem to be unable to follow a recipe); first, I followed the advice of another reviewer and liberally salt and peppered the (bone-in) chops. I put them in a baking dish and combined my sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. As it was only DH and I eating, I only used 2 chops, but used 1/4 cup of all ingredients, plus 3 cloves (about 1 Tbsp chopped) of garlic, and 1 Tbsp of honey. I boiled the sauce until it reduced by about a third and then I poured about half of it over the chops. Covered the dish and baked at 300F for 30 minutes. Then I removed the lid, dumped on the rest of the sauce and baked for another 20 minutes without the lid. The end result was a very moist, juicy, tasty chop. I will make this dish again when I'm looking for a no-brainer...but next time, once the chops are done cooking, I will cover them with foil and add the sauce back to the saucepan and reduce further (and skip the first reduction). Excellent recipe - thanks so much!
