Pork baked with plums
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Roasted pork goes well with various berries or fruits. Plums are one of the most popular ingredients for roasting pork leg. They are not overly sweet and add a pleasant tanginess and aroma to the meat. To prepare pork roasted with plums, we will need a large one-kilogram pork leg, preferably lean, without fat or connective tissue. I also recommend adding nutmeg to the spices—it's perfect for pork! Try this version. The finished dish can be served at the table.
