* 1.3 kg (3 lb) Belly of pork
* '''Pickle'''
* 2 Pints home made Beer ( I used a mixture of Lager and Mild ale)
* 2 Pints water (or enough to completely cover the joint)
* 1 tablespoon Allspice
* 100g Sea salt
* 4 tablespoons Black treacle
* 6 tablespoons Dark soy sauce
* 2 tablespoons Chilli powder / curry powder
* 2 tablespoons Garlic powder
* 4 tablespoons Malt vinegar
* '''Roasting'''
* 1 tablespoon of olive oil
* Finely ground sea salt

===Method===
* Lay the joint on a rack, skin-side-up, over a roasting tray and rub the olive oil into the skin
* Sprinkle with finely ground sea salt
* Place into the oven and immediately reduce the heat to 220° C (425° F - gas 7) and roast for 20 minutes
* Using a kitchen towel, pat off any excess fat that may be gathering on the top of the crackling
* Reduce the heat to 165° C (325° F - gas 3) and roast for 1 hour or a little longer if needed, it does dry out easily so keep an eye on it.
* Rest for 10 minutes, then cut into bite-sized chunks
