English term or phrase: pork with fruit jelly or jam
I'm transcribing an interview where a woman is talking about Danish food and she mentions a dish of pork with fruit jelly or jam. I'm looking for the spelling in Danish of the name of that dish. I've checked Google and the closest match I've been able to find is "flæskesteg", but I don't think that's quite right.

Thanks in advance.

Danish translation:ribbensteg
Explanation:
If you are looking for something ending in -steg (roast) from the sound, then various cuts of meat might be possibilities, again simply roasted and served with jam or jelly.
The cuts with more fat, like ribbensteg, nakkesteg, and, as you mention yourself, flæskesteg, would need the sharp jelly to counter the taste of the fat.

Red cabbage, pickled beetroot and other pickles in vinegar are also popular accompaniments (´med surt og sødt´) = something pickled, often gherkins, and jam or jelly.

But if you are looking for something with fruit as part of the sauce, then forloren hare is definitely a possibility too.

forloren hare


Explanation:
(mock hare) - it is just posiible that it might be this. The meat is usually a mixture of pork and veal, but it can also be pork only. As it is an game imitation, it is often served with a sauce to which fruit jelly has been added and in some cases also with jelly or jam to eat with the dish. The link is to a recipe.

svinekam med ribsgelé eller tyttebærsyltetøj


Explanation:
This is another possibility.
You can roast pork with not so much fat and serve it with red currant jelly (ribsgelé) or cranberry jam (tyttebær). Often is is prepared like game and it is a classic part of oldfashioned menus, especially in the country.
You can also say 'flæskesteg' instead of 'svinekam'.
I think the point is that you often prepare pork roast with fat with something sour (red cabbage, seeded and pickeled cucumber - 'asier') -- and pork without so much fat with something sweet (jam, jelly).
The example sentences below are from menus listings.
