1½ kg diced pork shoulder
½ pound of chestnuts

Once the meat is drained of fluids, start cooking: heat the oil with the butter in a wide saucepan and saute the meat with onions. When golden brown  add the marinade and thw wine with the honey mix and  little water, lower the heat, cover it and cook until tender. If necessary, add some more water.

Step 3

Meanwhile scratch the chestnuts and cook them on the grill. Once they are cooked let them cool and peel.

Step 4

Put the meat over fruits, chestnuts, bay leaves and cinnamon and pour the juice from the lemon. Cover the pan and continue cooking over low heat until the fruits are soft without stirring  the food. Once the sauce thickens is ready to  serve.
