.... so, the 'maple and apple cider vinegar braised pork' was cooked to perfection! This was quite the achievement if you consider we were transporting it to mum's mid cooking! It's only 5 minutes away, but it still could have resulted in a disaster!
The pork was all crispy and shiny on the outside - as it was supposed to be. Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of the end result and only took one of it all carved on the plate. Sadly, I seem to do that all the time. I guess most of the 'meat' photos throughout this challenge look exactly the same. They're not, I promise ;-)
The marinade the pork was braised in - by the way I found out braising just means 'roasting in juices' - became all sticky when it was done, so we poured that over the pork on each plate.
The 'Marsala poached pears' for desert was another success! Mum particularly liked it, and I think is looking forward to tomorrow night when she gets to eat the extra pear!
What with the sweet marsala and sugar in the pears and the maple syrup added in the pork marinade, I'm feeling a little sugar rush right now. Perhaps I 'll use some energy doing the ironing.

You're kidding right? While the pears would definitely have been a draw the dealsealer would have to have been the marsala.
