The reviewer gave this recipe 5 stars. This recipe averages a 4.45 star rating.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's such a guaranteed winner that I save it for special nights. The recipe does not say what to do with the sage; I just add it to the flour when making the gravy. Also, instead of plain raisins I use a mixture of raisins, golden raisins, and dried cranberries. Definitely give this one a try--it gets better each time I make it!

Looking for some quick, easy pork chop recipes to clean out the freezer and came upon this one. Simple yet very tasty. I made it with dried cranberries instead of raisins. The whole family loved it.

As my husband loaths raisens, I decided to omit them and use walnuts instead. The outcome was almost succesful, we realized that a spice was lacking, as I did not use any. It was decided that cinn. was the appropriate spice to add to the sauce. Very good. Chops were nice and tender. This one goes into the monthly rotation. *As a note, tried it again with the modifications and decided it was awful.

This was so yummy. I only changed a few things, I didn't use oil, I used Pam so there were no drippings in the pan, I used a splash of sherry to deglaze the pan and instead of water I used apple juice and apple cider vinegar. I used really thin pork chops so it was only in the oven 40 minutes. Next time I make this I will use a pork loin!

this was a great recipe. Note to chef- the sauce looks like glue and smells like glue. dont worry though, it is amazing once it is baked. I only had pork tenderloin and it was TENDER. leftovers arent the best but there probably wont be leftovers if you make it right.

This is one of my new favorites. I forgot to put in the sage and I'm not a fan of raisins, so I used dried cranberries instead. It was fantastic. The chops I used were thinner, so I took them out of the oven when done and finished the sauce on the stove. It was even better the next day!

This recipe is very good and I made only minor changes...Firstly, it never mentions in the instructions where to use the salt, pepper or sage (I assumed you were to season the chops before searing?) Secondly, I doubled the amount of sauce which worked perfectly. When making the sauce I added 1/4 tsp of cinnamon and 1/8 tsp sage to the flour before mixing with the drippings. This made a very nice sauce once cooked. Certainly a recipe I'd make again.

In all honesty, I changed this recipe so much that I probably shouldn't even be reviewing it; but here is what I did. First I dried my chops (they sear much better this way) and salt and peppered each side. Once they were seared off, I removed them from the pan and added 2 sliced, peeled apples, 1/2 large sliced onion, salt, pepper, 1/4 tsp each dried savory and allspice and 1/2 tsp each of cinnamon and ginger. Lastly, I added the zest of about 1/2 large orange. Once the apple onion mixture was soft, I transferred to the baking dish which contained my chops and I added 1/4 brown sugar. Then I deglazed the pan with 1 cup of chicken broth. I thickened the sauce with flour and poured that over the chops/onions. I baked the dish covered at 350 for 45 minutes and the end result was delish! It was a little sweet for our taste, so next time I will reduce the amount of brown sugar, but apart from that, I wouldn't change a thing! ;)

I am still drooling just thinking about this dish. I LOVED it. I did not add any spice or seasoning...no cinnomon, sage, or salt. The only thing I did different was to use apple juice in place of the water. Amazing.

This was the absolute best recipe I've ever gotten from this site, and I've had some pretty darn good recipes! My sister tried it first and told me I just had to try it for myself and I am so glad I did. It was so good that I wished I had made enough for seconds and I NEVER eat seconds! I can't wait to make it again. The only thing I did differently is I used Thyme instead of Sage (I added it to the gravy/sauce since the recipe doesn't mention what to do with it) and I sprinkled cinnamon over the apples and brown sugar. Yummie! Thanks for a fabulous recipe that I will be making every week now!

I substituted a can of chicken broth for the water and dried cranberries for the raisins since I felt they would add more flavor. The recipe is very easy to prepare and certainly tastes okay, but it lacks oomph.

I was trying to find something different to do with pork chops. This was the first recipe that I came across where I had all the ingredients. My husband loved it. In fact, he's already planning as to when I could make it again. I didn't use the sage, but did use seasoned salt when I browned the chops.

These were terrific! A great change from boring everyday pork chops. I seasoned my chops with adobo (an all purpose carribean seasoning) before frying. I added the cinnamon as suggested with the brown sugar and added the salt and sage to the sauce. Very, very, very good. Served to my husband after a three week military trip and he thoroughly enjoyed his welcome home meal! Even the kids ate it (although they picked out the raisins ;-).

Oh My, this was the best dinner I've had in a year! I made it exactly as directed except for adding a sprinkle of cinnamon. Wow! I did use cranberries and the house smelled great, and dinner was a HUGE hit. I can't wait to make it again and invite guests. Thanks for posting this wonderful recipe.

I enjoyed them. but I didn't feel like there was enough sauce. and I too ended up just seasoning to taste. All in all very interesting I will try it again.
