This recipe was surprisingly good. The combination of fruits seemed a little odd, but it turned out delicious. I followed the recipe as written except substituting 2 fresh pears for the canned ones, and substituting the second 1/8 tsp of cloves with cinnamon instead. The end product still tasted of cloves, and I think if I had used cloves the second time it would have been too strong for my liking. I used fresh squeezed juice from one orange for the orange juice. My kids were looking for the leftovers this morning, but their dad had already taken them to work:)

This turned out okay for me. Not delicious, but nothing bad, either. The chops stuck to the pan after I flipped them over- I think not turning them would have been better. They also seemed crispier before I turned them. Overall, the flavor was rather bland and the finished product was a little too greasy for my tastes. Family seemed to like it a little better than me. I don't think I will make this again.

This icing worked great for the candy land cake I made for my daughter's 6th birthday party. I doubled the recipe, but used one less cup of powdered sugar. I also used 1 c shortening and 1/2 cup butter. Nice flavor, and stiff enough to decorate with. I would definitely use this recipe again.
