Preheat oven to 160C/ Fan
140C/ Gas 3. Heat the oil & butter in a large flameproof
casserole and brown the pork, in batches, on all sides.
Remove with a slotted spoon, then fry the onion until
softened.
-
Return the meat to the pan,
and add the orange rind, cloves, sage leaves and cider.
Bring to the boil, then cover and transfer to the oven for
30 mins. Add the prunes and cook for a further 30 mins, or
until the pork is tender.

Using a slotted spoon,
transfer the pork, prunes and onions to a plate. Discard
the rind, cloves and sage. Skim off any fat from the
liquid. On top of the stove, bring the liquid to the boil
and reduce, uncovered, over a high heat, for about 5-10
mins, until syrupy. Reduce the heat, add the jelly and
stir until it dissolves. Season to taste and return the
meat, prunes and onions to the pan. Reheat gently, then
serve.
