This unique recipe combines the savory flavors of roasted pig with a refreshing watermelon-coffee glaze, topped off with a fun jelly candy dessert. Perfect for a gathering of four, this dish is sure to impress your guests with its creativity and bold flavors!

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs pork shoulder (for roasting)
  • 1 medium watermelon (cubed)
  • 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
  • 1/2 cup jelly (your choice of flavor)
  • 1 cup assorted candy (for garnish and dessert)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pork: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the pork shoulder with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you prefer. Place it in a roasting pan.
  2. Make the Watermelon-Coffee Glaze: In a blender, combine the cubed watermelon and cooled coffee. Blend until smooth. Strain the mixture to remove any pulp, if desired.
  3. Glaze the Pork: Pour half of the watermelon-coffee mixture over the pork shoulder, reserving the other half. Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil.
  4. Roast the Pork: Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and roast for about 4 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork. Baste the pork with the glaze every hour.
  5. Prepare the Jelly Candy Delight: While the pork is roasting, prepare the jelly candy. Simply place the assorted candy on a serving platter. If you want to get creative, you can melt some jelly and pour it over the candy to create a fun, sticky layer.
  6. Finish the Pork: In the last 30 minutes of roasting, remove the foil and brush the remaining watermelon-coffee glaze over the pork for a caramelized finish. Increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) for the final browning.
  7. Serve: Once the pork is done, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve alongside the jelly candy delight for a playful and colorful dessert.

This Sweet and Savory Pig Roast with Watermelon-Coffee Glaze and Jelly Candy Delight is a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The juicy pork pairs beautifully with the refreshing glaze, while the candy adds a whimsical touch to your meal. Enjoy this fun and delicious dish with family and friends!
