Method

• step 1

  Put all of the sauce ingredients in a pan and bring to the boil, stirring regularly.

• step 2

  Simmer for 15-20 minutes until thickened and saucy.

• step 3

  Heat the barbecue to a medium heat, with the coals banked up on one side (or for oven cooking, see notes below).

• step 4

  Rub the pork loin with 1 tbsp of oil and season generously.

• step 5

  Put the pork loin onto the barbecue, directly on top of the coals and sear until well browned all over.

• step 6

  Move the pork to the cooler side of the barbecue, put on the lid and cook for 50-60 minutes, turning every 5-10 minutes.

• step 7

  Use a pastry brush to glaze the pork loin with the caramel sauce for the final 20 minutes, turning regularly until glazed, sticky and cooked through.

• step 8

  If you have a meat thermometer, it should reach 72C.

• step 9

  Rest on a plate, lightly covered with foil, for 10 minutes before slicing.

Alternatively, heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and sear the pork loin really well all over. Transfer to a roasting tin and roast for 50 minutes-1 hour, basting with the sauce for the final 20 minutes of cooking.
