method
1. With a sharp knife, score rind at 1/4 inch (5 mm) intervals without cutting the flesh.
2. Rub in salt, lemon rind and sage and roast at Mark 7 (220°C) 425°F for 20 minutes.
3. Reduce oven temperature to Mark 4 (180°C) 350°F and cook for a further 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
4. To make sure the pork is thoroughly cooked, pierce meat with a skewer — the juices should run clear.
5. Allow to rest in a warm place for 15 to 20 minutes before carving. Garnish.
