Ingredients

Linden Honey - 2 tablespoons
Ground Cinnamon - ½ teaspoon

Step by Step guide

Step 1

In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the dry rosé wine and honey. Grate the ginger on a fine grater. Add cinnamon, paprika, ginger, and salt to the wine and honey mixture.

Step 2

Apply the mixture to the pork on all sides. Place the meat on a rack set over a baking sheet. Put it in an oven preheated to 220°C (428°F), after 10 minutes reduce the temperature to 160°C (320°F), cover with foil, and bake for 2.5 hours. A few minutes before it's done, remove the foil to brown the meat.

Step 3

Remove from the oven and cover with foil for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Drain the juices from the baking sheet into a small saucepan, add the red dry wine, and heat over medium heat for 5-10 minutes. While it heats, blend half of the lingonberries with sugar. Add the resulting puree and whole lingonberries to the sauce, stir, and remove from heat.
