Cuban style Roast Pork

4-5 pound loin roast or pork shoulder, preferably with the skin on.
Soak overnight in:
1/2 gallon of water
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup kosher salt
10 crushed garlic cloves
½ gallon orange juice
The roast was then stabbed all over with a fork and 10 more garlic cloves quartered and stuck into little cuts until flush with the surface. Then make the rub:
6 garlic cloves
1 Tbsp ground cumin,
1 Tbsp dry oregano
1 Tbsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 oz orange juice
1 Tbsp white vinegar
1 Tbsp olive oil
Hot sauce to taste
Dump everything into a food processor and puree. Coat the roast all over with the rub and place uncovered in a 300 F oven. Cook for about 3 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165 F.
