Well - this is a pretty awful photo, taken on my phone - but I simply had to log down the recipe for this sauce!
I found a recipe that looked good in this month's Waitrose magazine - and then promptly changed a few ingredients to put my own twist on it.
Dinner was rather late tonight. I need to learn to either keep slow cooked things for the weekend or the slow cooker ...
There wasn't much to the meat really - it was a piece of belly pork (approx 1kg) with the rib removed from underneath and the skin well scored. I rubbed in a little oil, followed by about 4 > 5 generous teaspoons of Sainsbury's Jerk seasoning.
I then cooked the meat at 220deg C fan with skin side down for 30 mins. Turn over and cook at 150deg C for 80 minutes. Turn over again and do a final 20 mins or so at 220deg C to get the cracking good and crispy.
I cooked the rice in my electric pressure cooker, at pressure for 7 minutes.
1 cup of washed rice, 1 cup of water and 3/4 cup of coconut milk. When ready, I stirred in 1 cup of cooked garden peas.

The sauce was the exciting thing. I just poured a little over the top. It's thick and rich and would work amazingly well as a dipping sauce or in sandwiches or wraps. Due to the ingredients, it should easily keep for a couple of months in the refrigerator. I'll definitely be making and bottling some of this for presents this Christmas.
The recipe below makes a good amount. Enough to serve with the meat and about half let over :-)
EASY JERK SAUCE
250g tomato ketchup (I used Heinz)
2 generous tablespoons of honey
2 generous table spoons of black treacle
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp garlic granules
TWO (just two) drops of Dave's Insanity Sauce - darn hot chilli sauce !
If you don't have Insanity Sauce, use tabasco to taste.
Put all the ingredients in a saucepan. Add approx 100ml of water and stir well. Bring to a simmer for about 5 mins until thickened.
Either use hot on pulled pork or similar - or refrigerate and use as you would tomato sauce.
