Recipe: Braised Pork with Prunes and a Potato Top

Choose good quality British pork for our Braised Pork with Prunes and a Potato Top and with several great producers on The Artisan Food Trail to choose from, you can’t go wrong.

It doesn’t need to be an expensive cut either and we used shoulder as this seems to work best. The slow cooking makes the meat very tender and almost melting in texture.

Inspired by all things English, this recipe uses old traditional flavours that complement each other so well. Cider and apples for sharpness, prunes for sweetness and a dash of mace, thyme and juniper for warmth and fragrance.
