Roast Pork                                    Preheat oven to 220c
Ingredients: 
2 - 3 cloves slivered garlic    olive oil    2 - 3  tsp salt    1/4  tsp freshly ground pepper    1  small bunch fresh rosemary 
1 small bunch fresh sage  rosemary sprigs or sliced peeled apples  1/2 cup water with few drops of lemon juice.

Remove the pork and turn up the oven back to 220°c. Final cooking time depends on size of roast and state of crackling.
Put the joint into a clean roasting pan and roast for a final 5 - 20 minutes. ( this final blast helps the crackling )
