Step-by-Step Method
Set up the oven
Heat the oven to a low temperature (about 300°F / 150°C). Prepare a large roasting pan and scatter the celery pieces in the bottom.
Mix the glaze
Stir the honey and soy sauce until smooth, then mix in the dried sage.
Coat the pig
Pat the suckling pig dry. Brush or rub the honey-soy mixture over the surface in a thin, even layer.
Start roasting
Place it on the pan. If the pan looks dry, pour 1–2 cups hot water into the bottom; keep the liquid away from the top so it still roasts.
Roast low and slow
Roast for about 11 hours 40 minutes. Check occasionally; if it’s browning too fast, tent loosely with foil.
Rest and serve
Let it rest 20–30 minutes before carving. Slice and serve, spooning a little pan juice over the meat if you like.
