So, you’ve booked a hog roast machine and ordered that spectacular whole hog for your hog roast in Hertfordshire. But have you decided how exactly you are going to serve it up? There are hundreds of different ways to enjoy spit roasted pork, but for us, the classic pork roll with apple sauce truly never fails to delight. Here’s a look at how to produce that classic recipe:
Slow-roast Hog Rolls with Chilli-apple Jam
Ingredients (serves 6-8):
For the whole hog seasoning

Directions:
- Prepare your hog roast by generously applying olive oil combined with thyme leaves and fennel seeds, inside and out. Slow cook on your hog roast machine.
- Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large saucepan and add the onions and chillis. Softening together for between 10-15 minutes. Once soft, add the apple chunks, sugar and vinegar along with 50ml of water.
