How freaky, bookmarked the exact same recipe, yesterday morning from elsewhere to try for my wife. Once I can source some apple jelly/jam.

How is the finished  belly? Does the meat stay moist or is it a little bit dry?

I found this on  Waitrose website, but not near one, for a week or so. Tiptree and those sort of jam makers do Apple Jelly but not stocked in supermarkets, so probably need to try a local farmshop or garden centre to see if they do perhaps?

 

The description from the Waitrose one, sounds as it will go well with cheese and I have  some Cheddar, Gouda and Jarlsberg just ready for eating after being smoked a fortnight ago, so probably try it with that as well.

Only one Waitrose in Birmingham ended up stocking this Jam/jelly and is over the other side of Brum for me. Ended up getting some from a Garden Centre at Becketts Farm, which was a bit more local. Will be trying this out the weekend, to see, if I can get any success with it

Just pulled these off the smoker. Did the apple glaze (well worth hunting out some apple jam/jelly, goes really well with the pork belly meat). Bite size pieces that melt in the mouth including the fat. Thoroughly recommend,  Remind me of Chinese rib meat albeit with a sweet, satisfying  apple flavour. Only took 5 hours from start to finish, couple of racks of ribs to follow in the next couple of hours

 

1kg of rindless pork belly was used for this amount, with my own homemade rub and Bullseye Smoky Bacon BBQ Sauce as part of the glaze

 

Will try the coke glaze in the future though

Thanks for the offer Justin, got a couple of jars that will see me through this year. But will definitely contact you for some next year. Thoroughly recommend Apple Jam/Jelly for using as a glaze on Pork Belly Burnt Ends and other products. Imparts a lovely sweet flavour to go alongside the slow cooked pork

The Glaze 

1 cup of  BBQ Sauce (I used Bullseye Smokey Bacon) but any suitable for pork will do

¼ cup of Apple Juice

Simmer sauce on low heat  till smooth and pour over Pork belly pieces tossing lightly to ensure a good coating all over, put back in smoker for another 15 minutes

Once cooked I served with cheese and bacon potato skins and a dollop of Sinclair's Red Pepper Ketchup (picture took before added ketchup).
