Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 8 slices fresh ginger root
• 5 pounds pork roast
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle guava nectar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

To Marinate: In a large resealable plastic bag combine the fruit nectar, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger root, ground ginger and brown sugar. Mix together until sugar dissolves. Add pork, seal bag and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or, if possible, overnight.

Step 3

Remove bag from refrigerator. Remove meat from marinade, wipe dry with paper towels and brown in a large skillet. Place browned pork on a rack in a roasting pan and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour (tenderloins 35 to 40 minutes) or until internal temperature of meat has reached 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Baste with marinade every 10 minutes while baking. (Note: If there is any leftover marinade, you can boil it and add cornstarch for a nice sauce.)
