Pork Hamonado Recipe 45

Steps:

• Drop pork slab into a large saucepan with just enough boiling water to cover and simmer. Skim the surface until the broth is clear. Simmer for an hour then pour in soy sauce, fruit syrup and all the other ingredients. Simmer with lid closed over low fire, turning the meat from time to time, for hours or until the rind quite literally melts in your mouth. Leave little sauce to moist the meat. Slice and serve with rice and blanched vegetables. Note: If you don't have fruit cocktail syrup, replace it with fruit juice (orange, pineapple, apple or tropical will do) or just vinegar and probably more sugar.

Steps:

• Mix the pineapple juice, sugar, and soy sauce in a large bowl.
• Cut the pork into fairly large cubes, about 2", and marinate pork with the pineapple juice, sugar, and soy sauce mixture for about 1 to 3 hours.
• Remove the pork from the marinade and set the remaining mixture aside.
• Heat the oil in a pan and fry the marinated pork until the meat turns light brown (approximately 3 to 5 minutes).
• Pour in the remaining marinade mixture together with the pineapple chunks and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• We usually serve this with jasmine rice.
