Start by preheating your oven to 180°C. Score the pork belly skin with a sharp knife and season it generously with salt and pepper. Place it in a roasting pan and roast in the oven for 2 hours until crisp and cooked through.

While the pork is cooking, peel and chop the apples and onion. In a saucepan, combine the apple cider, dried cranberries, honey, chopped apples, and onion. Simmer over low heat until the mixture thickens into a delicious chutney-like consistency.

Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thick pieces. Serve the pork belly slices with a generous spoonful of the apple and cranberry chutney on top.
