I have made this twice. The first time I used a sweet Riesling wine for the dry white wine (Bridgeview Blue Moon Riesling) and brandy instead of Irish Whisky, only because I did not have the others. It came out wonderful. The second time I used this same ingredients except substituted the wine with another brand and it is not as sweet as blue moon. So, I needed to add a bit of Splenda (or sugar) to make it more sweet. It is so darn good, but you have to use common sense and not as it says. Brown the onions in the butter and peppercorns before adding the other juices. I also used flatter pieces of pork (1/4" thick) and then put over rice. Can use flat noodles also. This is a all and all wonderful dish. I recommend it highly and take your time. Go easy on the orange rind also so you don't get too much bitter taste from them. Use about 1 1/2 tsp.
