  Lovely pork chops, very moist, tender and tasty. The salad is a perfect accompaniment, although I use champagne vinegar rather than cider vinegar.

  Tasty and quick (excluding the marinade time!) - used some of the marinade towards a light gravy.

  Haven't tried this yet as i am a little confused. Am I being daft? The recipe refers to "cider mixture" - yet does not appear to gives instructions on how to make said mixture. Will still be having a go though.

  Cider mixture is all ingredients not in the dressing. I wasn't overly impressed with this, too sweet. Don't think I will make again but if I did I would use less sugar, choose a dry cider and probably cut down on the salt.

  I love the combination of pork and apple but haven't yet tried the recipe as I'm sure 3 tablespoons of salt must be a misprint. can anyone verify this?
