buttermilk

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + vinegar

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

barbecue sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato sauce

💰Cheaper: ketchup

Ketchup is more accessible and can mimic sweetness.

1

Boil the pig's tails in water for a total of three times to reduce saltiness, boiling for 5 minutes each time.

2

After boiling, pour off the water and rinse the tails under cold water to bring them to room temperature.

Coat the pig's tails with all-purpose flour, shaking off the excess flour before placing them in a container.

5

Add half cup of orange juice, three-quarter cup of barbecue sauce, one-third cup of ketchup, and half cup of honey to a pot.

6

Stir in one teaspoon of hot jerk seasoning and bring the mixture to a boil on low heat, stirring until combined.

7

Fry the pig's tails for about 3 minutes on each side until they get a bit of color.

8

Add half teaspoon of vinegar to the sauce and stir, then taste and adjust sweetness with two tablespoons of sugar if desired.

9

Once the tails are fried, coat them with the sauce and place them in a baking tray.

10

Preheat the oven to 185 degrees Celsius (365 degrees Fahrenheit).

11

Pour the sauce over the pig's tails in the baking tray and ensure they are well coated.
