  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.

  Went down well at BBQ, followed other comments about reducing amount of sugar, good to have something that you can prepare the day before. The next time I will leave it whole though and cut it up after the cooking as turning over 2kg of pieces was a strugle to not burn them.

  I have now done this three times and it has been loved by everyone. I halved the sugar as was suggested by an earlier comment and also did not cut it until it was to be served. The last one I made was a whole side of a pig and it still worked! Lovely recipe and great comments from everyone who tasted it.

  I don't know what I did wrong, but this really didn't work. The spices etc just stayed on top of the meat in a crust, there never was any sauce. The pork was very tender but far too much fat, (yes I know it was belly). We tried crisping on the bbq but had to take it off as flames erupted.

  Followed the method exactly. Negatives would be that the sauce nearly disappeared and the fat didn't render down in all places Positives. It is extremely tasty and was gobbled up by 4 adults and 2 toddlers very quickly! I served it with homemade blue cheese dressing which really went well apparently. I couldn�t taste the blue cheese cause I�m pregnant �

  The method (Braising then BBQing) worked really well and would definately recommend. However, I wasn't keen on the marinade (I halved the sugar as other reviewers recommended).
