    I grew up in Chatham (southwest ontario), but grew up going to Sudbury every summer to spend a couple weeks with my Poppy. No matter how late we arrived at his house he would always have a porketta waiting for us, I’ve ranted and raved about the porketta in Sudbury to the point people have tried to make it for me, but it was never the same. I bought the marc angelo packed one and still not the same…….. at all. I was so sad thinking I would never taste it again, having no plans to take the 8 plus hour ride to Sudbury again (sadly) and I found this recipe.

    This tastes exactly as I remember and I want to thank you so very much for posting this recipe, Now I can show people what real Porketta tastes like.
