Do you do it the same as corned beef with vinegar and sugar.. I said to mom i am a bit hesitant with the vinegar as its a sweet meat. but the sugar yes..

Use cider instead along with your usual bouquet garni, onions, carots etc. If you want to use vinegar, then 1 tbsp vinegar and 1 tbsp soft brown sugar, a bayleaf and an onion etc.

Heres a nice recipe for you.
Pickled Pork With Cabbage & Mustard Sauce.
1.5kg piece pickled pork 1 onion, quartered 1 teaspoon peppercorns 1 bay leaf 4 cloves 2 tablespoons cider vinegar 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 Savoy cabbage, cut into thick wedges 25g butter 1/2 onion, finely chopped 1 tablespoon plain flour 1 cup beef stock 1/2 cup pickling liquid 1 teaspoon each Dijon, grainy and hot English mustard 1/4 cup cream 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped parsley
Place pork in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to the boil and skim. Add onion, peppercorns, bay leaf, cloves, vinegar, brown sugar and cabbage. Simmer until very tender (approx 21/2 hours). If you have a crock pot, you can do it in there instead.
To make the sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan. Add onion and cook over low heat until soft. Add flour and cook until the flour 'bursts'. Gradually add the beef stock and pickling liquid. Cook until mixture thickens. Stir in mustard and cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes
Remove meat from the pickling liquid, slice and serve with the sauce. Nice with creamy mash and peas.

If it is a "sweet meat" - whatever that is - then why additional sugar? I would just slowly simmer it in water. Or cook in some sauerkraut - but not now - that is a midwinter meal.

Pickled pork is quite delicious but I have never felt that it needed sweetening.

I cook it same as I do corned beef. Love it cold with chutney/pickles and salad. Have had it hot with an onion type white sauce but that was years ago, prefer it cold. Its really nice with a bit of spicy apple chutney too

Just wanted to say that pork and sauerkraut was a winter meal. I believe it would be nice just cold with salads this time of year.

the sugar although it may sweeten the meat slightly is I thought added for its tenderising. and although it is nice hot i definitely like it better cold with a salad and chips, or lovely new potato.

It is and it also helps balance the vinegar/spice mix but wasn't going down that track again!

Of course you can cooks. I have never felt the need to sweeten it but then I wasn't aware that any balancing was needed either. I'm always open to something new that I didn't know.

I only every add cracked black pepper and crushed garlic to my pickles meats when cooking (water too of course).Find the crockpot great for this.

Best way to cook pickled pork is by pouring a bottle of ginger ale over it and adding about 4 - 6 cloves of garlic.

Sounds quite tasty jules555. I am not a fan of it just cooked in gingerale and garlic,not tasty enough for me and quite bland.

my husband once cooked corned beef wrapped in tinfoil in the oven, it was very nice, much to my surprise. I have another friend that only ever does hers in an oven bag. I have not tried the gingerale am going to one day when I remember to buy some when I buy the corned beef.

mmmm quite a few ideas to play around with isnt there. My mom has said she is going to do it like corned beef the first time and then we will gauge our taste buds from there lol..

jules I think I will be trying out your suggestion next time I cook pickled pork, which isn't very often anyway, because it is hard to find free range pickled pork.
margyr you husband's method also sounds very, very interesting and definitely worth further consideration.
I presume both meat are roasted, rather than boiled.

This is nice when you can find a nice piece of pork. Crock Pot Pickled Pork Best left in the fridge in foil to marinate overnight. Mix together 2 tbsp honey and 2 tbsp wholegrain mustard with a little salt and black pepper. Warm in saucepan on low heat. Pour over pork and cover well. Wrap and seal in tinfoil pocket. Place the "wrapped" pork on an upturned saucer in the crock pot and pour about an inch of water in the bottom. Leave on low all day and place still wrapped on bench 20mis to rest. Slice and serve.Thanks to our Fisher, its lovely hot or cold next day.
