Orange Juiced Pork Chops

Once again, the pork chop recipe caught my eye... I thought that this sounded a little bit different, definitely easy and would feed a lot of people. My mind has been on trying to figure out what we are having for Christmas Eve dinner, which is usually something that I can throw in the crockpot before we leave for church, and this seemed to fit the bill... So, this was my trial run and it was a hit at our house! The pork chops had a different taste to them but were still delicious... Josh was not expecting the sweetness of the orange juice though so he was a little put off at first - by the end of the meal he was sold too! Guess next time I need to warn him in advance what we are eating so he knows what to expect! :)
