JERK PORK RECIPE

Steps:

• Season pork: On a clean work surface, pat cubes of pork dry with paper towels. Transfer pork to a large bowl and drizzle with oil (SEE NOTES). Toss to coat. Sprinkle the pork with jerk seasoning. Season with salt to taste. Use your hands or tongs to mix and toss the pork until thoroughly coated. (NOTE: You may want to wear gloves as the mixture will be spicy. Don't touch your face or eyes until after you wash your hands!)
• Marinate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to a large zip-closure bag and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight.
• Add to slow cooker: Remove the pork from the refrigerator and allow the meat to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes while you prep the other ingredients. Transfer pork to the bowl of a 5-6 quart slow cooker. Add the onions, garlic, peppers, ginger, orange juice, lime juice, sugar and soy sauce.
• Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours, or until the pork is fork tender and falls apart easily.
• While the pork is cooking, make the salsa: Combine all the ingredients for the salsa in a medium bowl. Season to taste with salt. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Skim fat & strain liquid: Skim and discard the fat from the top of the cooking liquid in the slow cooker. Strain the cooking liquid into a measuring cup or bowl.
• OPTIONAL to Crisp Pork: Use a slotted spoon to transfer the pork to a large rimmed sheet pan lined with aluminum foil. Arrange oven rack to the upper-middle third of the oven. Preheat the oven to BROIL.
• OPTIONAL - Broil: Add ¼ to ½ cup of the strained cooking liquid to the pork and gently toss to coat. Broil 3-5 minutes or until crisp. Remove from the oven, flip the pork and toss with another ¼ to ½ cup cooking liquid. Broil and additional 3-5 minutes. NOTE: Watch the oven carefully as pork can go from golden brown and crispy to burned very quickly!
• Serve: Transfer pork to a serving bowl and drizzle a bit of cooking liquid over the top. Serve hot with salsa in your favorite tacos or over rice! Enjoy!

JAMAICAN JERK PORK

Steps:

• Place the pork in a large bowl or in a zip-top bag set inside the bowl. In a large measuring cup, combine all the brine ingredients with 3-1/2 cups water. Stir until the salt and sugar dissolve. Pour the brine into the bag with the pork, squeeze out any air, and seal, or cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 and up to 6 hours.
• In a blender, purée the garlic, chiles, onion, orange juice, vinegar, olive oil, soy sauce, allspice, thyme, salt, lime juice, brown sugar, ginger, pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir the rum and molasses into 1 cup of the mixture and reserve for basting. Remove the pork from the brine and pat dry. Discard the brine. Use a fork or the tip of a sharp knife to poke holes all over the pork. Return to the bag or bowl. Pour the remaining marinade over the pork, squeeze out any air, and seal, or cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 8 and up to 24 hours.
• Prepare a grill for indirect cooking over medium-low heat (300°F to 325°F) following the directions below. Remove the pork from the marinade and place on the cool side of the grill, fat side up. Cover the grill and cook for 2 hours. Using a silicone brush, baste the pork with the reserved basting liquid every 30 minutes until it's used up. Continue cooking until tender when pierced with a fork and an instant-read thermometer registers 190°F in the center, another 5 to 6 hours, checking the temperature on the grill. Transfer the pork to a cutting board. Let it rest until cool enough to handle. Remove teh pork from teh bone, cut into 2-inch chunks, and serve.
