Jerked Pork

Directions

1. 1
   Combine the first 6 ingredients with some salt and pepper, then moisten with enough lime juice to make a paste.
2. 2
   Use a thin-bladed knife to poke holes all over the pork and stick some of the paste in there; rub the pork with that which remains.
3. 3
   Wrap loosely in foil and refrigerate overnight or, if youre in a hurry, proceed.
4. 4
   Five or 6 hours before youre ready to eat, turn the oven to 300F or prepare a charcoal or gas grill to cook over low indirect heat (ideally with some wood chips as a flavoring source; see the headnote).
5. 5
   Open the top of the foil and put the pork in a roasting pan in the oven or directly on the grill rack; if youre grilling, cover the grill.
6. 6
   Cook, checking occasionally and basting with the lime juice, until the pork is brown and very, very tender4 hours or more.
7. 7
   To serve, chop into pieces (the meat will be very tender).
