Yes, I would call this dish "truly beautiful" as well. Easy and delicious... definitely make-again-able! I did make one change, necessary for our family, of substituting Splenda for the sugar, but I don't think that made any difference to the well received pork chops.

I really enjoyed this pork chop recipe. The pork chops were so tender, juicy and super tasty. All the flavors in the sauce melded very well together. Very easy to make and in so little time. I will be coming back to this recipe again and again. Made for February 2012 Aus/NZ Swap.

Lovely. The sauce is very gingery and a nice complement to the fairly flavor-neutral chops. I prefer to go light on sauces so served it separately. It is GREAT as a dipping sauce. I confess I didn't get much "lemon" out of it.
