Not just for toast..

It's Seville orange time again, I have already made several jars of marmalade and am sorely tempted to make some more, while they are in season.  Apparently marmalade sales are falling, so this is part of my attempt to re-popularise this delicious spread.

I love the stuff, but not just on my toast.  Did you know that you can make absolutely gorgeous ice cream by mixing equal volumes of whipped cream and marmalade and simply putting it in the freezer?  You don't even have to get it out and beat it during the freezing process and it stays wonderfully "scoopable".  Delicious with a hot chocolate fudge cake!!

The following recipe combines the richness of shoulder of pork with the tang and acidity of Seville oranges, which cut through the fattiness with zest and zing.  Shoulder of pork is a fantastically economic cut and this is a ridiculously easy recipe, which makes a superb meal served with mashed potatoes and wilted spinach.

1kg shoulder of pork joint
2 dessertspoons fennel seed
2 tablespoons marmalade - doesn't have to be home made
200ml water
Salt and pepper



Put all the ingredients into the slow cooker bowl.
Put on the lid
Place the bowl on the heater base.
Cook for 3 hours on HIGH or 5 hours on LOW or 8 hours on KEEP WARM.


Enjoy!!
