Cherry Cippolini Jam

Method

Pork Belly Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Belly

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Score the skin of the pork belly in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Rub the pork belly all over with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Pork Belly

    In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, place the pork belly skin-side down and sear for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip it over and sear the other side for another 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Bake the Pork Belly

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 2-3 hours until the pork is tender and the skin is crispy. Let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Stone Fruit Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Stone Fruit

    While the pork belly is baking, dice the peaches and plums into bite-sized pieces. In a medium bowl, combine the diced stone fruits with honey and mix well. Let it sit to absorb the flavors.

Harissa Hot Honey Preparation

  1. 5

    Make Harissa Hot Honey

    In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey and harissa paste. Stir until well combined and heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cherry Cippolini Jam Preparation

  1. 6

    Make Cherry Cippolini Jam

    In another saucepan, combine pitted cherries, diced cippolini onions, sugar, and balsamic vinegar. Cook over medium heat until the mixture starts to bubble. Reduce heat and let simmer for about 30-40 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.
