An oldie but a goodie. This was the first RR recipe I ever made. I measure nothing and add the spices I like, and typically use this on center cut pork chops. The vinegar makes them extremely tender! There is no way for this to be bland if you are tasting and seasoning as you go. I gave the recipe to a girl at work and she calls them Kerry's pork chops in her house. Sorry Rach!

I thought the sauce tasted really weird...bland bad weird. I feel that if this recipe lived in a certain era, it would live in Archie Bunkers house. I definitely will not make this again. I'm surprised, all of Rachel Ray's recipes that I've tried have been very good.
