Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

A 1kg piece of back bacon, rind removed
2-3tbsp clear honey
10-12 cloves
2 quinces cooked as in the recipe above
Preheat the oven to 180C/gas mark 5. Score the fat of the bacon; insert the cloves.
Line a roasting dish with foil, place the bacon on the foil; spoon the honey over.
Roast in the oven for about an hour, basting every so often and adding a little water if the honey is burning. Remove from the oven; cool.
Halve the quinces, cut into slices and shred the slices into strips.
Slice the bacon on serving plates; arrange the quince on top.
