Ingredients
 
 

For the pork

  • 2 pork shanks
  • 4 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon coarse salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 300 ml water
  • 3 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 4 tablespoon ketchup
  • 2 tablespoon Bourbon
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon sugar

Instructions
 

  • Score the pork and place on a rack over an oven tray.
  • Combine the rest of the ingredients and rub well into the skin.
  • Cover the tray with foil and roast at 140C/275F/GAS1 for about 7 hours.
