Cheeks with sweet brandy and plum sauce

Cheeks o cheeks, a meat of pig that is juicy and honeyed, so tender that it melts in your mouth, I love them. I have cooked them several times in thermorecetas: with figs, Old fashioned, with tomato... Very good all. This time I have tried them with plums and cooked in a mixture of brandy, sweet sherry wine and orange, I have combined them with mashed potatoes, And it has worked very well: the meat is juicy, the sweet sauce and the mashed potato offer the perfect counterpoint. I hope you like it!

And with this recipe I say goodbye to all of you for a while. I'm going to take a break Thermorecetas. But don't worry that Ascen, Irene, Mayra and the team Thermorecetas They continue at the foot of the canyon. Thanks to everyone!! A very strong hug and see you soon!!
