Just finishing off Sunday dinner, the pheasants can wait for tomorrow
Got a honey and mustard glazed boned and rolled pork shoulder just resting out the oven, I'm well happy, I've only learnt over the last few months to do a proper butchers knot, it's simple as anything, and I can tie all manner of complicated fishing/boating knots, so I dunno why it took me so long to get it sussed properly.
Anyway, it means I can now bone, stuff, and roll my own joints...made a nice stuffing with pork sausage, apricot, sage, onions, red peppercorns...
Having it with roast taters, sprout, carrot, cauliflower, and chard from the allotment.
Oh, and apple sauce :D
TOP TIP for roasting pork. Often, when you roast pork the meat juices burn and caremalise too much to make a decent gravy by deglazing the pan. I roast my pork on a wire tray ABOVE the roasting tray, and keep the tray topped up with water...the pork juices drip into it,but don;t burn as long as the water is kept topped up, and makes ideal gravy base.
