This was a big hit. Great flavour combination. I had some homemade mango chutney already made so I didn't try the relish yet but this recipe is a definate keeper to try next time. For pork I like to get the internal temp. to at least 160 F so it took about 10 mins longer for us. Even then the roast was abit pink inside so I'll probably go to 165 F next time. I cooked the roast in the oven in a pan with rack so I poured the marinate with abit of water in the bottom of the pan so it doesn't burn & the flavour continues to marinate the meat during cooking. It smelled so good I was tempted to make the drippings/sauce into a gravy, I'll probably try that next time too. Fabulous recipe, thanks for sharing.

Prepared for My-3-Chefs 2008 Five stars in not nearly enough for this recipe. Sweetie puts steak sauce on everything, usually without tasting it. I talked him into just trying the pork with just the salsa. He loved it and didn't touch the steak sauce! The marinade created a beautiful glaze on the tenderloin which was cooked on the grill instead of in the oven. It worked perfectly in just a few minutes longer than the recipe time. The heat of the pepper wonderfully compliments the sweetness of the mango and tartness of the cranberries. I'm going to have the leftover salsa and meat on a spinach salad for lunch! Thanks for a wonderful recipe. :-)
