Fair recipe. Raspberry flavor was light. Reccomend consideration for more sauce.

The sauce in this recipe is wonderful. My husband wasn't a big fan, but he says "meat shouldn't be sweet." If you like fruity dishes like orange chicken or peachy porkchops, then this is one you'll love! Also looks impressive on the plate...

So good. The raspberry sauce makes this such a nice dish. Easy enough for fast weeknight meals, nice enough for dinner guests. I used raspberry balsamic vinegar.

This was extremely easy and quick to prepare. My husband, who is a very picky eater, loved the sauce. We had this with a side of wilted spinich and pine nuts. Will definately make again!

The vinegar was WAY too overpowering in this sauce. IF I make this again, and that's a big if, I will not use vinegar. Instead, I'll use plain white wine. Granted, I don't like vinegar on French fries or poured on anything straight. But I do cook with vinegar when it's called for in a recipe like this because I expect it will mostly disappear or meld into the flavors of the dish. That didn't happen here. This is basically a sweet raspberry vinaigrette on pork chops. I even added 2 tablespoons of butter as suggested by one reviewer to make it a richer sauce (and to tame the vinegar's strength). Still, I found it too strong. Sorry! I had great hopes for this one but it was disappointing. I gave it a three stars because I don't like vinegar, so I wanted to be fair in mentioning that and assuming some people may like it.

This was very good. I think I may have used too much raspberry jam, because it was a little too sweet for my taste, but my boyfriend couldn't get enough of it! I will definitely make again but next time use a little less jam, and using another reviewers suggestion, add some butter at the very end. Overall a great recipe!

This was so quick to make. Definitely a great weeknight dinner. I used a previous suggestion and doubled jam and orange juice for more sauce.

Used pork tenderloin steaks, freshly squeezed OJ, balsamic vinegar, and because I didn't have plain raspberry jam tried fruits of the forest jam(different berries, cherries,etc) instead. I doubled everything for the sauce apart from the balsamic, which was left at 2 tablespoons. Seared the pork while making the sauce in another pan, and then when the sauce was close to thick enough and pork nearly done, poured it into the pan with the searing pork for another minute or two. Served with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli & cauliflower. We all absolutely loved it--didn't miss the raspberry jam at all! I love fruity sauces with pork, so I was in heaven; my husband who is not such a fan of fruit & pork thought it was certainly worth doing again. The sauce even made the boring steamed cauliflower appealing to the kids! Next time I think I'll try adding marjoram and rosemary to the rub mix(as in Michelle Chapman's awesome 'Herbed Pork with Apples recipe'--and don't worry, there will definitely be a next time!

Superb! Definitely a dish to serve for company as well as for a family meal. When we made it for about the fifth time, I added 1 Tbls. of creamed horseradish to the fruit sauce. Delightful!

My husband requests this recipe often. I have made it with both pork chops and a pork loin. When using a pork loin, I double the spice rub, brown it in the pan, then finish it in the oven.

It was very good. I sauteed a little chopped red onion in butter before cooking the sauce. Also, another pointer... If you have balsamic vinegar add some of that in place of the white. All in all, my family really liked it and asked me to make it again.

I thought this was really good- Definatly let the sauce cool a bit before serving- its much better thicker!

this recipe is simple, quick and very tasty. even my four-year-old, who won't eat anything, gobbled this up. I made it with sliced baked potatoes with herbs and some green beans. I doubt you could go wrond with nearly any side dish.

Easy peasy! Double the sauce for thicker chops. My husband was sooo impressed as it tasted like something gourmet from a restaurant. I love it when I find something so simple that seems so difficult to make....impresses the heck out of everyone!

Best recipe I've tried so far in 4 months. Used boneless pork loin - easier to prepare and presentation is great for group meal. After searing the meat, put in oven for 25 mins at 350. Tripled the sauce, added butter and cornstarch. The rub on pork and sauce make this a great "company" dish.

I made a gravy out of the remaining juice/sauce and the flavor was too strong. If there is a next time, I will not make a sauce/gravy out of the juice.
