  • To make the sauce: Combine all the sauce ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and cook for 1 hour or until the sauce has reduced to just 1 cup.
  • For the filling: Start by cooking the bacon until golden for 5 minutes.
  • In a skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter and add the bacon, onion, fennel, salt, and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes or until the onion is well cooked. Transfer to a deep bowl.
  • In another skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat and cook the apples for 4-5 minutes. Add the whiskey, apple juice, and 3 tablespoons of water. Stir with a wooden spoon while cooking for another hour.
  • Pour the apple mixture into the deep bowl with the fennel and onion and mix. Add the spices and combine well.
  • To make the crown: Place the pork at room temperature for at least one hour before cooking.
  • Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius and place the rack in the lower third of the oven.
  • Season the ribs with salt and pepper and place in a greased roasting pan, cover with aluminum foil and cook for 30 minutes.
  • While the pork is cooking, mix the bread with the rest of the filling, add the chicken broth, and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the pork ribs from the oven and reduce the temperature to 180 degrees Celsius. Assemble the crown in a roasting pan with kitchen twine, filling the center of the crown with the bread and apple filling. Cover the crown and the filling with aluminum foil.
  • Bake the crown for 2 hours. Remove the aluminum foil and bake for 15 more minutes or until the meat is well done.
  • Remove from the oven and carefully place the crown on the serving plate with a spatula.
  • Heat the sauce just before serving and serve alongside the crown.
