    I substituted citrus conserve for the apricot marmalade, used country style ribs (that's what we had on hand) and baked them covered w/foil @375 degrees for about 1 hr. You have to adjust the nutritional info. Delicious - 7/14/08

    This was easy and great! I sprinkled hickory BBQ seasoning on the pork chops before browning to give it a smoky flavor and de-glazed the pan with 2 T white wine before adding the preserves. Definitely a keeper. - 10/24/08

    I have made a similar recipe. If your doctor says no pork, then try the pork tenderloin. Extremly low in fat. I have used the apricot/soy sauce/ garlic plus added ginger thing with chicken, beef, fish and pork tenderloin. My family loves it. - 7/15/08

    I make a version of this. I use 1/2 C sugar free apricot perserves or orange marmalade. Combine it with 1 T prepared horseradish and fresh rosemary. Bake that with chicken or pork and it is delicious!!! - 7/9/08

    My daughter helped with this one and we both loved it! I think we will make it again tonight using chix breast instead just to change it up a little. I can't see myself using the apricot preserves in too many other dishes. - 7/11/08
