    One pound sugar and salt? Feeding ? And all the lard? Food network chefs are out of control with no thought to health. That said. I made the apple sauce and it was fine.

    Made this extraordinary meal with a friend this weekend, and it turned out great. Used 8 fresh hind shanks from Outlook Farm in Westhampton MA. Mustard oil is difficult to find except in Indian specialty food stores, so used Dijon mixed with canola oil. The quantities of Fire Cracker Apple Sauce and Pineapple Mustard Glaze are sufficient to feed 8 people, not four. Half the amount of sugar and salt called for was sufficient to cure the 8 shanks. Used 8 lbs. of Crisco instead of lard with excellent results. With the above minor exceptions, we followed the recipe, and the results were excellent. The shanks were crackling but not oily, and the sauces balanced perfectly. If you like crackling pork, and you love to cook, try this recipe.
