Hoisin Barbecued Pork Loins With Apple
- 2 (8 ounce) pork loin, 1-inch thick
- 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons cooking sherry
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (Leave this out if you want the sauce less sweeter)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, to taste
- 1/2 apple (Any kind will do)
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Mix all the ingredients except the Lemon Juice, Water and apple.
- Divide mixture in two, put one half aside.
- Put half of the mixture in a sealable bag with Pork Loins and let it marinate for 3 hours (You can do less but I like the flavor to really permeate the meat) but do have at least an hour.
- Broil (or BBQ) the pork loins using the marinade mixture from the bag to baste.
- Cook on low to medium heat about 8 mins either side so that the meat is properly cooked but the outside does not burn.
- The loins will turn brown because of the marinade and this is OK but dont let it burn or it could taste bitter.
- Peel your half apple and cut out the core so that you just have the flesh of the apple and dice it into small chunks.
- Take the half of the mixture you put aside and add the water, diced apple and lemon juice.
- Put the contents in a small pan and warm up on the stove top prior to serving.
- You can let it reduce and thicken or leave as is, according to taste.
- Just before serving you can drizzle some of the warmed sauce over the pork loins or serve in a gravy boat or sauce jug on the side.
