Yum. This was great and pretty easy to make. I did not marinate the meat overnight (maybe two hours), and it was very well flavored. I think it might get too acidic if you marinate it that long. Maybe add a bit of water to the marinade if you plan marinating it for 24 hours. The salsa was very interesting. I did not have any pears, so I used apples (nothin' wrong with pork chops & applesauce). It was very tasty, but the pears are probably better since the fruit is softer. I can imagine this with cilantro instead of the mint too. Thank you for such a nice summery way to make pork loin. It was wonderful. My picky kids even ate it (sans salsa).

Loved this!!! I took another reviewers advice and added some finely diced onion at the end. I used 1 1/2 lbs of tomatillos (grew them in the yard--very easy) two jalepenos and added a little ground chipotle (1/4 tsp). It turned out wonderful. I highly recommend it.
