This pork tenderloin is extra flavorful, thanks to a marinade that does double duty as a basting sauce. A warm apple jelly mixed with sherry and soy sauce adds the finishing touch.
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups dry sherry
- 0.5 cups soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic , minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger root , minced

Bake in the preheated oven, basting occasionally with the marinade, until pork is slightly pink in the center, 60 to 65 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
