This was awesome. Didn't have the sherry, substituted red wine(Merlot) 1/8 tsp. apple cider vinger. Followed cooking instructions, but ran out of liquid, so added the apple jelly etc. to finish basting... Sauce very good when cooled.

Liked it a lot but found it salty. However, I don't use salt so it is probably the soya sauce that I was tasting as salty. Served over wild rice with fresh peas. Made this for my inlaws. Will see what they say but I know it will be a hit. I marinated the roast for 24 hours. Cooked 30 minutes but 25 minutes would have been perfect-that will teach me to multitask!

Nice flavour and easy to make! I didn't have apple jelly, but I just chopped up an apple and cooked with cinnamon, sugar, water and cornstarch, worked great!

This is a really good recipe. I did have sherry so I substituted Marsala wine. Also, since I did not read the comments until I was in the middle of roasting. I started the oven at 325 degrees after an hour, it was still too pink in the middle, then I saw another readers comments, and increased the temperature to 425 degrees and roasted for another 10 minutes. Family loved it. Served with roasted potatoes, steamed asparagus and broccoli.

This was fantastic! My whole family really, really liked it! They tend to be picky eaters, so I was thrilled! Will definitely make again! I did do the rub a little differently because I didn't have any more Thyme. I mixed the mustard powder and ginger powder (didn't have any fresh) and onion powder and pepper together. I did everything else like the recipe stated. Delicious!

This is not a true two-star review, but I'm not sure where else to submit this feedback. It would be great if you could revise the "ready in" time to reflect the fact that this needs to marinate overnight. I'd bought the ingredients & was planning to start it now & serve it in for dinner tonight but just realized I can't do so. Changing that total time would help all those who make the same scatterbrained goof of not reading the entire recipe in advance. Thanks!

We weren't really crazy about this. As many other reviewers did, we grilled the pork and basted with the marinade. Although very tender and juicy, it didn't pick up much of the marinade flavor. Instructions say to rub the meat with mustard powder and thyme, but when you put it in the marinade, it all falls off the meat. Maybe better to do the rub after it comes out of the marinade?? Didn't care for the apple jelly sauce at all, just tasted like overly sweet melted jelly. I bought a jar of the store-brand apple jelly, and quite honestly, it didn't have a lot of flavor. If I were to make this again, I'd use either orange marmalade or apricot preserves for the sauce, but that's just a personal preference. Sorry, I know this recipe has had great reviews, but it just didn't work for us. UPDATE 8.9.12 Tried this again baking in the oven and using Smucker's Apple Preserves rather than apple jelly...the sauce was chunkier and so much better.

Good recipe. Next time I'll grill instead of bake. Nice contrast on the salty marinade and sweet apple glaze.

This was quite good. We grilled this rather than baking and used the apple jelly mixture to baste on during the last 5 minutes of grilling. This is simple to put together and calls for ingredients I usually have on hand, so I will no doubt be making it again.
