Pork knuckle in honey in the oven is a spicy, aromatic, juicy dish that can be prepared for a festive table. According to this recipe, the knuckle is baked in a honey-mustard glaze, the remains of which can be used as a sauce for serving. The honey flavor goes perfectly with mustard. For baked pork knuckle, it is better to choose the back legs - more meaty and juicy. A quality product should have light meat and white fat. Dark meat and yellow fat are signs of an old animal.
