Just made spiced roast pork with plum sauce. It was awesome.
Mixed butter with dark muscovado sugar, ground cloves and ground nutmeg and rubbed it into the skin of the joint before roasting.
Plum sauce was six plums, stewed in shallow water with a tablespoon or so of sugar, juice of half a lime, a star anise and a pinch of salt reduced to a nice thick red sauce.
So pleased with the results.

What's up folks! Do you guys in the USA/Canada/wherever have Baileys (Irish cream). I bet if you are a vegan you are butthurt that you can't consume this delicious nectar...well be butthurt no more! I discovered an amazing recipe that I am going to tell you now so you can make yourself some tasty and vegan friendly Baileys.
Get 2 cans of coconut milk. I used one full fat and one reduced fat. You can use all full fat if you like, but not all reduced fat as you need some of the fat to keep the texture right. Stick it in a saucepan and pop the heat on, whisking out any lumps. Then add half a cup of brown sugar and whisk that in. Bring to a light boil and continue to whisk. Reduce by about a third, basically you want it to be somewhere between single and double cream. It should take like 8-10 mins. Don't leave that shit alone, because if you're not careful it'll turn real quick and you'll end up with condensed coconut milk (which is incredibly tasty also and good for use in desserts). Okay, take it off the heat. As it cools, whisk in some Irish whiskey (I used Bushmills, but Jamesons is good too). I put almost a cupful in, because I like it strong. I also added just over half a cup of fresh coffee from a cafetiére, but I guess you can leave this out. Also throw a pinch of salt in there, to bring out the flavours!
Hey presto! Wait for that stuff to cool properly then transfer to a bottle and pop it in the fridge. It'll thicken a bit as it cools, so bare this in mind during the reduction process, also considering as you reduce it that you'll be adding more liquid once it's done cooking. It'll keep for a week in a fridge. Give the bottle a little shake when serving as the whiskey may settle. YEAH BITCH.

We do have Baileys. I find it to be reasonably tasty, but I never drink it. I bought two bottles for an "old greg" themed birthday party a few years ago, and the only times I have had any since are when I am already drunk and we are out of other liquor.

Most vegans I know are also teetotallers. Their loss. 8)

That is possibly because almost all alcohol is not even vegetarian, never mind vegan...
