I cooked pork with honey in the oven at the dacha. I liked this recipe primarily because of its simplicity. I didn't have all the necessary ingredients, so I had to improvise. Replaced lemon juice with orange juice. For spices I used dried pomegranate, salt and red pepper. I picked mint from the garden. I used flower honey. The oven in my dacha is electric and portable; the temperature in degrees is not marked on it. Therefore, I simply set the switch knob to the average value (I don’t know how hot it got). The meat was cooked for one hour under foil and another 20 minutes without it. The pork turned out very juicy, with a pleasant minty taste and aroma. The orange flavor was also noticeable. Everyone liked the meat, both children and adults. It really turned out wonderful. Thank you very much for the recipe!
