This recipe was a disappointment. The pork was tough and the sauce was bland.

The pork was fall-apart tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

The pork was a little dry, but the sauce was excellent. I will try it again with a different cut of pork.

Easy to make and very tasty. I used dried apricots instead of prunes and it was still delicious.
