Method

  • step 1

    To make the glaze, put the stout, honey and sugar into a pan. Reduce by almost half to form a sweet syrupy glaze, then allow to cool.

  • step 2

    Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Season the pork with pepper and salt, if you want, place on a baking tray and roast for 20 mins per 500g. Then turn the heat down to 160C/fan 140C/gas3. Remove the pork from the oven and brush all over with most of the glaze (reserving a few tbsp) cook for a further 40-50 mins, brushing and basting the pork as it cooks until it’s beautifully caramelised and glazed.

  • step 3

    Remove the pork from the roasting tray and leave to rest. Pour the remaining glaze into the roasting tray, then add the wine, Champagne or water. Place the pan on the heat and bring everything to the boil, simmer for a few mins until you have thick gravy. Carve pork into thin slices and place on top of the colcannon (see separate recipe). Glaze with the stout syrup, drizzle a little on the plates and finish with a sprig of parsley.

The timing of this recipe makes no sense at all. I'm not brilliant at maths, but 20 minutes plus 40-50 minutes makes little more than an hour. It says at the top that it takes 2 hours to cook, which seems a lot more likely for a pork joint weighing 2kg. Pork should never be underdone and it should…

Please, I beg you. Stop putting sugar in savoury recipes. If I want sugar I bake dessert!

If anyone agrees with me change the recipe: instead of 100ml of honey --> 1 tbsp honey instead of sugar --> English Mustard And I also like to add cloves (during cooking) and chilli sauce (in the glaze),…

250 g of sugar??? Plus almost half of the Guinness in honey.? I halved the sugar after I saw how much there was and just put a couple of tbsp of honey in. The pork was ok but the sauce with the extra marinade in ruined it.. sickly sweet... other half wouldn't eat it.

Hi, does anyone know roughly how long it takes to reduce the honey, guiness and sugar liquid to half once it gets to simmering point? Thanks

Cook the glaze the day before you are cooking the meat and keep in the fridge so it thickens up. Also good on gammon!! :-)
