Method:
- Take a boned and rolled shoulder joint and and press cloves into the folds of the meat.

- Stand overnight in a shallow pool of honey, turning occasionally.
- Next day put in a covered oven-proof pot and add warmed apple juice or cider to about half way up the meat.

There is no need to season as the flavours of the Iron Age Pork are complemented by the spices and the juice. Bon Appetit!
