- Pierce pork joint with a fork and place in a large plastic freezer bag. Combine soy sauce, sherry, honey, orange juice, garlic and Chinese five-spice powder in a bowl. Pour marinade into bag with pork; press air out of bag and close securely. Chill in the fridge for at least 8 hours or overnight, turning bag over occasionally.
- Preheat the oven to 170 C / Gas 3.
- Remove joint and marinade from fridge. Place pork in roasting tin and reserve marinade.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Brush with reserved marinade; cover loosely with foil and roast about 90 additional minutes or until the internal temperature has reached 70 degrees C, brushing several times with marinade.
- Remove pork from the oven and let stand 10 minutes. Stir cornflour into cold water in a small bowl. Whisk cornflour into pan juices; bring to the boil, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens, 4 to 5 minutes.

Very good, I added some double cream to the gravy just before serving - 31 Aug 2014
This was really easy to prepare. I left it in the marinade overnight. The flavour was so nice. I did cook the meat for about 3hrs though and added more water to the marinade. The meat was lovely and tender. We served it with rice and steamed broccoli. Will definitely make this again! - 09 Jan 2018
