Whether you’re barbecuing pork ribs or slow cooking some pork shoulder in the oven, almost every cut of meat can benefit from a little burst of flavour courtesy of a condiment. Skip the barbecue sauce or mustard (or whatever you go-to may be) for once and try making a batch of this spin on a relish.
