The combination of smoky chipotle peppers and the tangy sweetness of blueberry kiwi salsa creates a flavorful and unique twist on a classic pork loin roast. The marinade, made with a blend of chipotle peppers, garlic, cumin, and oregano, infuses the pork with a smoky and slightly spicy flavor, while the salsa, with its vibrant colors and contrasting flavors, adds a refreshing touch to the dish. This recipe is perfect for a special occasion meal or a casual weeknight dinner, and it can be easily adjusted to suit your preferences.

SPICY BLUEBERRY PORK TENDERLOIN
Steps:
- In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine the blueberry preserves, chipotle powder, orange zest and juice and 2 tablespoons of the mustard. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Reduce the heat and to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until berries begin to burst and at a thick sauce consistency, about 10 to 15 minutes. Pour into a serving bowl and set aside.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Rub the tenderloin with the remaining 1 tablespoon of the mustard and season on all sides with salt and pepper. Put the pork on a foil-lined sheet tray on a wire rack and broil approximately 5 to 6 inches from the heat source. Turn the meat about every 3 to 5 minutes, cooking until an instant-read thermometer registers 145 degrees F, about 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside on a cutting board and allow to rest about 5 minutes, tented with foil.
- Slice the pork and transfer it to a serving platter. Serve with the blueberry sauce.
CHIPOTLE PORK LOIN WITH BLUEBERRY-KIWI SALSA
Tart kiwi and sweet blueberries make a unique salsa to dress your basic pork loin. This is a leaner cut of pork, so be sure not to overcook it; you can test the meat by slicing it with a paring knife or using an instant-read thermometer, which should register 145ºF.

Steps:
- To grill the pork loin, preheat a grill over high heat, or to roast, preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Combine the kiwis, blueberries, cilantro onion, and vinegar in a large bowl. Add 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and toss well. Set the salsa aside.
- Place the paprika or chipotle chile powder on a plate along with the turmeric, cumin, the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, and the black pepper. Roll the pork loin in the spice mixture to coat. Drizzle the pork with the oil.
- To grill:
- Grease the grill with grapeseed oil. Adjust the grill flame setting to medium to medium-low.
- Place the loin on the grill and cook, turning often, until no longer translucent inside and cooked through, or until it registers 145ºF on an instant-read thermometer, 20-25 minutes. Let the loin rest for 5 minutes before slicing, then serve with the salsa.
- To roast:
- Place the pork in a 7-by-11-inch baking dish and roast on the lower rack, uncovered, for 35-40 minutes until cooked through and no longer pink in the center, and it registers 145ºF on an instant-read thermometer. Let the loin rest for 5 minutes before slicing, then serve with the salsa.
PAN-SEARED PORK WITH PINEAPPLE-KIWI SALSA
Rejuvenate leftover pork slices by pan-searing them in olive oil (to create a golden brown crust) and then freshen everything up with a lively pineapple-kiwi salsa. If you want, you can also make this dish with boneless pork loin chops or lean sirloin steak (just cook the meat longer if you're starting from raw). I like to round out the dish with a store-bought mixed bean salad or combination of rice and black beans.

CHIPOTLE PORK WITH STRAWBERRY-AVOCADO SALSA
This was printed in our local newspaper. Prep time includes marinating. I made it the other night and it was wonderful. I did need to grill the pork for longer, but the tenderloins I had were kind of thick. I also used a little more lime juice in the "marinade", which I found to be more like a wet-rub than a marinade.

Tips:
- To ensure the pork loin is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The pork is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the pork loin by cutting into its center. The pork is cooked through when the juices run clear.
- Let the pork loin rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork loin.
- If you don't have chipotle peppers in adobo, you can use 1 teaspoon of chipotle powder mixed with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- The blueberry kiwi salsa is a great way to add some freshness and sweetness to the pork loin. If you don't have blueberries or kiwis, you can use other fruits such as strawberries, raspberries, or mangoes.
Conclusion:
This chipotle pork loin with blueberry kiwi salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork loin is juicy and flavorful, and the blueberry kiwi salsa is a refreshing and tangy complement. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
