Pork with honey glaze for New Year
Description
Pork with honey glaze is a dish that will delight all your guests. The meat turns out incredibly tender and juicy inside (the key is not to overcook it in the oven), while on the outside it develops an exquisite, smooth glazed crust with a pleasant sweet-and-sour flavor. This dish is quite simple to prepare—during holiday preparations, all you need to do is brush the pork with the marinade and put it in the oven.

Meanwhile, for the sauce, mix honey, lemon juice, and ketchup. You can adjust the proportions according to your taste preferences. However, I recommend not reducing the amount of honey, as this will give the meat a proper glaze. Instead of ketchup, you can use jam, for example, cranberry jam. It is sweet and sour and will pair well with the flavor of the meat. But I find that combined with honey, the sauce becomes too sweet and lacks flavor balance. Therefore, I prefer tomato-based sauces.
