Method
Copy TextA day ahead, if possible, mix the marinade ingredients and spread over the pork joint. Leave in the fridge overnight.
Heat the oven to Gas Mark 6, 200C (400F). Place the pork on a roasting tray, season well and roast for 2 hours. Reduce the oven temperature if necessary when the crackling is crisp and well browned.

Twenty minutes before the end of cooking time, drizzle the pork, apples and vegetables with the runny honey.
