Method

Preheat the oven to gas 9, 240°C, fan 220°C. Put the shallots cut-side down in the bottom of a roasting tin, then lay the pork, rind-side up, on top. Rub the jerk paste into the pork rind and press into the cuts. Drizzle the pork with the oil and season. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C and roast for a further hour (or 30 minutes per 500g if you have used a different sized joint), or until the juices run clear. If the jerk paste starts to blacken, cover the meat with tin foil. Once cooked, put the pork on a plate, cover with foil, and rest for 30 minutes.
For the apple sauce, put all the ingredients (the chilli will add a fiery heat, omit it if you prefer a milder sauce) into a saucepan with a splash of water. Cook over a medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples have completely broken down and are soft.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly before transferring to a blender and pulse until smooth. For a slightly chunkier sauce, serve without blending.
