Pre-heat oven to 240 °C/475°F/gas mark 8
For stuffing:
Fry onion in butter until softened
Put all other ingredients in a bowl and add the fried onion. Season generously
Pour over enough boiling water to bind together into a moist stuffing
To prepare the pork:
Using an apple corer and a knife, make a hole through the centre of the pork by taking out a plug of the meat from end to end.
Push the stuffing through the joint until it has a circle of stuffing through it.
Season the joint and season the skin generously with sea salt which will help the skin to crackle.
Put the vegetables and pork bones in the roasting tin to form a trivet and sit the pork on top.
Roast in the very hot oven for about 30 minutes until the skin has crackled. Reduce the heat to 200 °C/400°F/gas mark 6 for a further 45 minutes or until the juices run clear.
Whilst the meat is cooking, make the meat is cooking make the remainder of the stuffing into little balls. Saut, in a knob of butter and then roast in a bun tin (to keep the shape) until cooked and crisp. Fry apple rings and keep warm.
Remove pork to a warm place to rest and de-glaze the roasting tin with the wine, Scraping up all the meaty juices into it. Add stock and reduce whilst pressing the vegetables and bones with a basting spoon to extract all the flavour. Sieve into a clean pan. Check seasoning and whisk in a little chilled butter to give it gloss.
Sit the stuffing balls on the apple rings and arrange round the pork to serve.
