This recipe is a new favorite in my house!  Making this dish was a bit of a gamble, being that my husband doesn’t prefer fruit in savory dishes and doesn’t care for Dijon mustard.  But I had a good feeling about it and it was DE-LI-CIOUS!!  It was so good I made it twice this week.  It’s simple, easy, and you probably already have everything in your refrigerator.
