Step-by-step
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C, 350°F or Gas 4.
- Heat the sugar in a large saucepan, that has a tight-fitting lid. Stir until you have a thick caramel.
- Dry the pork chunks on kitchen towel, the drier the better. Pepper the pork well, and then add to the caramel. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the onions, sauces, lemon juice, stock cubes and mix well. Bring to the boil, then add the plums, black pudding, a little salt and again, mix well.
- Bring back to the boil, then cover well, and place in the pre-heated oven. Cook for 2 hours and check to see if the meat is very tender and cooked through. If cooked, stir in the peas and warm through.
- Serve with boiled new potatoes, crushed slightly.
