  The crackling was crispy and the meat melted in the mouth. It was delicious. Also served it with braised red cabbage and apple and it went down a treat.

  not so keen on fennel seeds, so left them out and turned the rest into proper stuffing with some breadcrumbs and an egg to bind it. It was absolutely gorgeous. Will definitely make this again.

  Why can I never get my pork to crackle? The meat was very moist, but I thought it was a little lacking in flavour, and I used the fennel seeds. Might try it again with the chicken livers as a stuffing.

  This recipe is wonderful. Tasty and simple. I cooked enough for three people for only two of us, but we ate all of it. I cooked this with mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts and carrots, together with the recommended apple sauce. I'm making it for the in-laws tonight and expect it to go down well too.

  If I use a piece of belly pork with no skin will this work?

  Perfect crackling, ive tried so many methods to get crackling right and this was totally superb! The pork was soft and melted in the mouth. I would be making this again and again and AGAIN! Was also wonderful with the apple and chilli chutney from another pork recipe on here :)
