This one is easy and delicious. Sweet and heat layered on just right, looks good on the plate. We served it with roasted... corn and it was a great combo.Read more

Outstanding heat and flavor
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This dish is excellent! We had it with Chipotle Sweet Mashed Potatos from Cooking Light and it was a fabulous meal. We gave... it our highest rating. The flavor and spice are wonderful. I brined the pork for an hour before applying seasonings and grilling. I could only find guava jelly and not marmalade, so I used that. I also didn't use sour orange juice or fresh OJ. I used juice from the store and omitted the sour orange juice. We will definitely make this again.Read more

way better than I expected
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was really good, and easy to make. I used apricot preserves because I couldn't find the guava marmalade. I did end up... with a lot more mojo than I needed (which wasn't so bad because it's a hella good mojo). My boyfriend used it as the cooking liquid in a bowl of white rice to use up the excess.Read more

Delicious!

This is a great meal. We added some tropical fruits to the Mojo and some minted lime jasmine rice just to add our own touch.

tangy and delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

A perfect way to make a tenderloin. The sweet guava glaze is a perfect contrast to the tangy-spicy mojo. I served with rice... and black beans to rave reviews. AND--it's easy!Read more
