Story

Pork chops are one meat that really cries out for a sweet flavor. No matter what it is... maple syrup, brown sugar, honey, apples, apricots, pears, peaches... pork just belongs with something sweet. You can try this same recipe with pork tenderloin, too. Make your tenderloin according to the package it came in, then just follow the rest of the directions in this recipe for the sweet topping. You'll just have to be sure to use a big enough skillet for your tenderloin to fit in so it can simmer along with the sauce.
