This was very tasty. I thought I had messed something up and re-read the recipe like 10 times when I was reducing the vinegar, sugar and peppercorns as it smelled so bad! My hubbby and kids went outside cus it did not smell good at all. I had mine on med/high heat to reduce way down. So glad the chops ended up tasting way better then the sauce smelled. I would for sure make this again.

This recipe is awesome, but the biggest success with it was found the next day after first making it. The salsa is AWESOME by itself! I now make this all the time as regular salsa and serve with blue corn chips - always a favorite at any party!
