Crispy Rolled Pork Roast with Spiced Plum Jam
Tip: Once the pork crackling is golden brown, cover loosely with foil to prevent it burning. For best results, dry the pork with paper towel. Place, uncovered, in the fridge overnight to air dry. Let pork stand at room temperature for 1 hour before roasting. Courtesy of Australian Pork
