How to cook
- Pre-heat your oven to Gas 4-5, 180ËšC, 350ËšF.
- Line a large roasting pan with a double layer of foil.
- Now, cut strings on the joint of pork, flatten the meat and place into the roasting pan – rind side up.
- Deeply score the pork with a sharp knife and rub in the allspice and generously sprinkle with salt.
- Next, mix together the treacle, ginger, apple juice, lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon and pour the mixture into the roasting pan.
- Add the apples and scrunch the foil loosely around the joint – remember to leave the rind exposed.
- Cook for about 2-2½ hours or until meat is tender and soft – as the joint cooks and begins to shrink re-scrunch the foil around the joint.
- Serve with creamy mashed potato and steamed curly kale.
