• i have bought some marrow bones, will scoop out marrow and melt it down with fennel bay leaves and worcestershire sauce

    tonight i will brine the joint with fennel, garlic and bay leaves (juniper berries on order for delivery tomorrow)

    after brining will inject it with the flavoured marrow

    tomorrow will rub it with salt, pepper and sugar then smoke for 4 hours or so

    then i will glaze it with honey, cider and juniper berries and wrap in cawl fat to try to keep moisture in - will also add a texas crutch (wrapping of foil)

    will finish off with butter and cocoa

    serve it up with a fresh fennel, apple and celery slaw, possibly with a few walnuts
