Ingredients - Serves 4

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Score the skin of the pork belly and rub with salt and pepper.
Place the pork belly on a rack in a roasting pan and roast for 2 hours.
While the pork belly is roasting, combine the apple cider, brown sugar, garlic, and thyme in a saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until it is reduced by half.
