CROCKPOT CUBAN STYLE PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Cut the pork tenderloin in half so that it fits in your crockpot, if it already fits, no need to cut it in half.
• Mix all other ingredients together, and pour this sauce in the crockpot and set the pork tenderloin in the crockpot. Set on high and cook for 3 1/2 hours or on slow for 5 to 6 hours.
• To make the gravy strain the remaining sauce. In a small sauce pan, melt 2 tbsp of butter and add about 1/2 cup of the sauce and the flour. Quickly whisk and after it thickens add remaining sauce and whisk and cook until sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Serve over pork.

ROAST PORK HAVANA

Steps:

• Whisk together the juices, oil, spices, and sliced garlic. Now put the ham in a bag large enough to hold it and pour in the marinade. Tie up the bag. Let this marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 days and up to 4 days.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Take the pork out of the marinade and put it into a Dutch oven or roasting pan, fat-side-up. Cover and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Turn it fat-side-down, cover and cook another 1 1/2 hours. Turn the meat one last time and cook 1 hour more. Now the meat should be almost falling off the bone. If it is not, it needs more time covered in the oven.
• Turn up the heat to 375 degrees F and cook, uncovered, 30 minutes to brown.
• Now remove the roast to a cutting board and allow it to rest a few minutes.
• Pull apart the pork with 2 large forks, degrease the remaining drippings from the roasting pan and pour the jus over it. Toss and serve.
