Pork Chops With Caramelized Orange Sauce
"This is a tasty way to enjoy pork chops and a nice combination of sweet and savory flavors. The pork chops are seasoned with savory spices and simmered in an orange sauce, which caramelizes and thickens into a sticky indulgence. It is best served over hot, cooked rice with sauce spooned over all."

Fantastic recipe!! I added just a little balsamic vinegar, and a couple pinches of red pepper flakes to the sauce. Just the sauce is addictive! I will definitely make this again! Hubby loved it! -
Not overly sweet, and it went great with scalloped potatoes.
