  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a roasting pan with baking paper. Combine apple juice, quince paste, five spice, port, maple syrup and mustard in a saucepan. Place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 mins or until quince paste dissolves and mixture thickens slightly. Cool slightly.

    Transfer half the quince mixture to a heatproof bowl. Add pork. Turn to coat. Set aside for 15 mins to develop flavours.

  3. Step 3

    Place the pork, skin-side up, in the prepared pan. Roast for 20 mins or until pork is caramelised and cooked through.

  4. Step 4

    Combine the chopped apple, onion, oil and lemon juice in a bowl. Season.

  5. Step 5

    Arrange the pork and watercress on a serving platter. Drizzle with remaining quince mixture. Serve with apple mixture.
