Black Bark Pork Fillet
This sticky BBQ glaze is perfectly sweet, creating an amazing crust that darkens as the meat cooks. Use any leftovers to make a lovely salad the next day. Consider making the marinade ahead of time to take with you on the road. You can also marinate the pork fillet, freeze it, then defrost and cook for an easy meal. Serve with our delicious Jacket Potatoes with Cheesy Topping.
Recipe Tester Feedback: "This marinade is packed full of flavour, my whole family loved it. Marinade made enough for two, and the pork is so tender you can cut it with a butter knife!" - Kylie
