- Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Mix the honey, mustard and cloves with 400ml warm water, adding a good pinch each of salt and pepper. Put the pork into a small roasting tray and pour the honey mixture all over, rubbing it into the skin. Break up the cinnamon sticks and scatter around the pork. Cover the tray with foil and roast for 21/2 hours. About 20 minutes before the end, remove the foil, pour any pan juices into a saucepan and raise the oven temperature to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7 to crisp up the skin (it won't crackle completely).
- Meanwhile, boil and mash the potatoes. To make the colcannon, melt the butter in a pan, add the cabbage and cook gently till soft. Mix in the spring onions and mashed potato, then beat in the cream. Heat through and season with salt and pepper.
- Take the pork out of the roasting tray and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes before carving. Boil the pan juices and stock until reduced by 2/3. Season if it needs it. Carve the pork and serve with the gravy and colcannon.

Gordon Ramsay's dessert is bursting with berry and almond flavours, and can be prepared well in advance - in fact, it's best to make the batter 24 hours ahead
