1. Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2, then sit the pork belly in a deep roasting dish. Mix the remaining ingredients with 1 tsp salt, then rub all over the pork. Cover, roast for 3 hrs, then uncover, slice the pork into 16 short, fat chops. Spoon over the sauce from the dish, then roast, uncovered, for another hour, turning the strips halfway. Cool, cover, then chill for up to 24 hours.
2. About 15 mins before you are ready to barbecue, pop the pork into a low oven to melt the sauce making sure the strips are nicely coated in it. Barbecue, skin-side down first, to crisp up, then cook for just a few mins, turning, until heated through and the sauce is sticky.

TIP

Cuts like belly pork are great value, and cooking with them more often is a good way to support British farmers. Look out for the British Quality Standard mark on packs or, in Sainsbury's, the Freedom Food stamp.

  This has terrific potential and I'd serve it again BUT I'd halve the sugar. Far too sweet for our taste. It did smell great both in the oven and on the BBQ but far too much sugar. Others may disagree but it wouldn't do if we all had the same tastes.

  Oh, should have also commented on the tenderness of the pork - that would rate 5 stars.
