Ingredients:
- 1 boneless pork loin
- 1/2 cup dry sherry
- 1/2 cup soya sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dry mustard
- 1 tsp grated gingerroot
- 1 sprig fresh thyme
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tbsp red currant jelly
- 1 tbsp black currant jelly
Instructions:
-
Marinate the Pork:
- You’ll need 2 heavy-duty large plastic bags; place one inside the other, then place the pork loin roast inside the inner bag.
- In a bowl, combine dry sherry, soya sauce, minced garlic, dry mustard, grated gingerroot, fresh thyme, dried thyme, red currant jelly, and black currant jelly. Mix well.
- Pour the marinade over the pork roast in the bag.
- Press out any air, tie it up with a twist-tie or elastic band, and place it in a large bowl. Stash it in your fridge.
- Marinate for about 6 hours, occasionally squishing the bag to ensure all the meat gets in contact with the marinade. You can marinate for 3 to 4 hours if needed.
-
Roast the Pork:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Remove the pork roast from the bag, discarding the marinade.
- Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Roast the pork until it reaches an internal temperature of 170°F (75°C) and the juices run clear, about 3 hours.
- Let the roast stand for about 15 minutes before carving to allow the juices to settle back into the meat.
-
Prepare the Sauce:
- While the pork is resting, prepare the sauce.
- In a small saucepan, combine the remaining dry sherry, soya sauce, and grated gingerroot.
- Heat over medium heat until the jelly melts and the sauce is heated through.
- Stir well.
-
Serve:
- Slice the pork roast and serve with the prepared sauce on the side.
- Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs, if desired.
- Enjoy your delicious Asian Pork Roast with your favorite sides!
