delicious!!!
I cooked this few days ago, the taste its amazing. Its like a BBQ sauce but with a kick at the end. I was amazed how easy was to prepare. Make sure that your oven is completely hot before you put the pork bc it might take a while to cook.

Very good
Sauce turned out very good. Didn't have time to marinate for a full hour, but a 1/2 hour worked just as well. Will definitely make again.

great pork
I have served this to my family, and they loved it. I served it to party of 15, and there were raves. The pork turns out to be even more tender than you would expect, the flavor is more complex than the simple ingredients lead you to believe, it is a snap to clean up (marinate in plastic bag) and mindless to cook (turn on oven, take out when ready). And healthy. Thank you.

Very Good!
The whole family liked this one, even my 2 year old cleaned her plate! Easy to make, just make sure to give yourself enough time to marinate. I will definitely make this one again!
