Vegetable oil 1 tbsp

Lean pork fillet 450g (1lb), trimmed and thinly sliced

Unsweetened apple juice 150ml (¼ pint)

Chicken stock 150ml (¼ pint)

Clear honey 1 tbsp

Chopped sage 1 tbsp

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Granny Smith apples 2, cored and sliced

Blackberries 150g (5oz)

Cornflour 2 tsp

1 Heat the oil in a non-stick medium-sized frying pan. Add the sliced pork and cook for about 3 minutes on each side until browned all over and the juices run. Using a draining spoon, transfer the pork to a plate lined with kitchen paper and set aside.

2 Pour the apple juice and stock into the frying pan and add the honey, sage and seasoning. Bring to the boil, stirring, and reduce to a simmer, then return the pork to the pan and add the apples. Cover the pan and cook gently for 5 minutes.

3 Add the blackberries, cover and cook gently for a further 5 minutes. Blend the cornflour with 4 teaspoons cold water to make a paste and stir into the mixture. Raise the heat slightly and cook for about a minute, stirring, until lightly thickened. Serve with crusty bread and coleslaw.

COOK’S TIP

If fresh blackberries are unavailable, use frozen or even canned blackberries in natural juice instead.
