Pickled Pork - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1 onion, peeled and cut into chunks
2 garlic cloves, peeled and lightly crushed
1 teaspoon peppercorn, lightly crushed
2 slices orange peel (about 2 inches each)
1 star anise
1 1/2 kg pickled pork

Preparation

Mix the first 7 ingredients and a couple of cups of cold water together in a saucepan large enough to hold the piece of pork.
Add the pork and more water (enough to cover the pork); give it all a bit of a stir around to combine.
Bring to the boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer; cook for 2 hours (40 minutes per 500g of meat).
Allow to cool for about 2 hours in the stock.
