   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1      5-6 pounds    pork roast -- shoulder, sirloin *
    1      head          garlic -- or to taste
      3/4  cup           orange juice -- bitter OR
      3/4  cup           orange juice -- & lime juice mixed
    1      teaspoon      oregano
    1      teaspoon      cumin
    1      teaspoon      black pepper
                         salt -- to taste
    2      large         onions -- sliced
 
      * Any fresh pork roast including Picnic
      Trim fat from roast and, with knife, pierce some holes on top of the
 roast.  Mash garlic with salt and add other ingredients except onions. Rub
 this on roast and insert some in the holes. All of this is in a plastic bag
 or glass dish.  Cover with onions and refrigerate, at least overnight.
 Barbara has marinated this up to a day and a half. Bake in a covered baking
 pan at 275 degrees F. for 5-6 hours.  Low temps work best.  Turn once
 halfway through cooking.  Take roast out of the oven and let stand 20
 minutes before carving.
 MARY'S NOTE
      Fixed this in a crockpot (8 hours on low) using (instead of the orange
 juice) 2 heaping tablespoons of orange juice concentrate and the juice of 1
 small lime.  I used 2 very large Maui onions and made great sandwiches with
 the easily shredded meat. I turned the roast once about half way through
 the cooking.  Me ke aloha,  Mary
