Expert Tips

Pork is a good food source of iron. Iron helps build red blood cells to carry oxygen through the body.

The fire in this recipe comes from the black pepper and the red pepper flakes. For less heat, reduce either one of these ingredients a bit.

To make the marmalade easier to stir and spread, microwave it on High for 10 to 15 seconds.

This dish is extremely delicious. With the sweetness from the jam to the kick from the chili powder. its devine and in my cooking rotation. (ive made it about 4-5 times since we first discovered this recipe about 5-6 months ago) Delicious with roasted potatoes and a nice crisp salad.
