First, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200oC). Put your joint of pork in your lightly oiled roasting tin with the fatty side facing down.

Sprinkle with crushed garlic and cracked black pepper to taste and roast for half an hour. Turn the oven down to 350 and roast for another half hour.

Meanwhile, take a large saucepan, and put in the pineapple (include the juice if using tinned), orange/lemon juice, cornstarch and sugar.

Bring to the boil and stir continuously until it thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the orange, lemon and lime peel.

Spread half of this glaze over the pork and continue to raost. Re-baste sparingly every twenty minutes until the pork is cooked. (this should take about 2 and a quarter to two and a half hours in total).

Let the joint stand for ten minutes and then slice. Serve with the remaining glaze.

The beauty of this recipe is that you can serve with virtually anything - fresh garlic bread, spring rolls - rice - the possibilities are endless!
