Marinate the pork: In a large glass baking dish, whisk together sherry, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger.
- 2
Rub the pork with mustard powder and thyme, then place it into the bowl with the marinade. Turn the pork until it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight.
- 3
When you are ready to cook the pork, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Take the pork out of the refrigerator and uncover it; leave the marinade in the dish.
- 4
Bake in the preheated oven, basting now and then with the marinade, until the pork is slightly pink in the center, 60 to 65 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
- 5
When the pork is nearly done, make the sauce: Warm the apple jelly in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in sherry and soy sauce, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer gently until the pork is ready.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
