I gave it four stars, but my husband would have given it five. It was just a bit dry for me. But the glaze was excellent! Will definitely make it again for my pork chop loving husband. joliene, I don't think it would transfer to a crock pot well because glaze doesn't work so well in a crock pot. But the meal took me less than a half hour to make. So that part was good.

Very tasty..after returning the chops to the sauce I cooked for the appropriate time, but then removed the chops allowing the sauce to reduce again

I didnt have thyme so I used Italian mix and it came out great - my whole family LOVED it - will make again and again for sure!!

Very easy and the pork chops stay moist and succulent.

This is a supurb main course!

I made this recipe in a hurry so it wasn't as tender as i hoped. However, it was still really delicious! I made some changes though, maple syrup was way too expensive for just one use, i used molasses instead (which was half the price) with some brown sugar. Also, i excluded the brewed coffee, i didn't feel like brewing coffee.

Next time i will make enough sauce to pour over it once it's all done! the sauce was absolutely delicious!!

The sauce was wonderful and the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I wanted to make sure the chops were tender so after following the recipe I put the in a pan with the sauce along with some carrots and diced onion with foil covering and let them hang out at 350 for a couple hours. So tasty!

Fantastic !!!!!!!!!!
