Excellent -- LOVE the cranberries with the pork chops. A meal fit for special occasions or just to make you feel like any day is special.

I served this for a Sunday after church meal. Most of my family was leary of eating it because of the cranberries, but they loved it and my brother even bragged how great it was to my sister in Kansas. I plan on serving it to a small group from church.
