    have only ever tried prunes with lamb before - this pork dish was fantastic and works well with lots of fresh green veg.

    TRIED THIS AS A MID WEEK MEAL AND IT WAS DELICIOUS- SO EASY. DIDN'T HAVE ANY PRUNES SO I USED DRIED APRICOTS INSTEAD WHICH WORKED OUT FINE. I MADE THIS USING JUST 2 PORK CHOPS BUT KEPT TO THE SAME AMOUNT OF SAUCE- WOULD DEFINATELY MAKE THIS AGAIN BUT WOULD DOUBLE THE SAUCE FOR 4 CHOPS.

    Excellent. Used half cider vinegar and half balsamic vinegar. Lovely served with potatoes and carrots mashed together. Very easy - will definitely try it again.
