fruity variation of the classic

First, score the fat edges of the smoked pork slices. Heat the lard in a heavy pan and fry the meat on both sides for about 3 minutes, remove and keep warm. Deglaze the pan with the orange juice, add the stock and bring to a boil briefly, then reduce the heat. Reduce the liquid by two-thirds, stirring occasionally, then add the jam and dried sage, and season the sauce with pepper. Now add the meat slices back in and let simmer gently for a few more minutes. Arrange the meat slices on warmed plates, top with a little sauce, and serve hot, garnished with half an orange slice and a sprig of sage. Serve with fried potatoes or croquettes, as well as snow peas, green beans, or kale.
