The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In winter, it’s dark in Brimsdown by about 3:50pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.
