    Made this for Christmas dinner. I did add about 1/2 cup of bitter orange juice. (My husband is from Cuba and his mother cooked her pork with bitter orange) The pork was wonderful. Anytime I can cut meat with a fork I know it is tender. Thank you for the recipe. - 12/25/12

    I am cooking this in my crockpot right now...and holy cow, I CANNOT wait to eat it, it smells that good! I was researching pernil online, & this is very similar to those recipes. I added Adobo & Sazon & extra cumin to my rub as well. - 1/26/11
