Pork Tenderloin with Three-Berry Salsa image

My husband came home from a work meeting that had served pork with a spicy blueberry salsa. He was amazed at how tasty it was, so I came up with my own rendition without seeing or tasting what he had. It took several tries, but this is the delicious result. -Angie Phillips, Tarzana, California
