This glazed pork with plums recipe is simple and delicious, and much cheaper than splashing out on a take away. It's healthier too! Combining the sweetness of honey with sour plum sauce, this alternative take on pork really brings out the meat's flavour. It's a real crowd pleaser that is a perfect midweek meal to fill up the family or for impressing guests at a dinner party.
We love this marinade for other meats too, you could try using it to jazz up some poached chicken or even serve it with steak. The beautiful sweet and sour flavours act as the perfect refreshing flavour to cut through rich meat. The creamy, sweet mashed potatoes in this recipe are a delicious way to boost your veg count too, and act as the perfect texture combination to the tender pork.
