Let's make roast pork with LINIE-glazed red cabbage and caramelized potatoes — a hearty Danish classic that many of us know and love. The secret to our version is that we've injected LINIE into the roast, which adds even more flavor and makes the roast even juicier.

Serve the roast pork during Christmas when the family is gathered, and enjoy how a little LINIE can make a big difference.
