JAMAICAN OVEN JERK PORK SHOULDER

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place allspice, brown sugar, garlic, Scotch bonnet peppers, thyme, scallions, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and soy sauce in a food processor . Blend until smooth.
• With a sharp knife, carefully score the thick fat of the pork shoulder into a diamond pattern, trying to not cut into the meat.
• Press and massage a thick coating of the jerk sauce on the exterior of the pork so it is completely covered-gloves are encouraged for this process. Refrigerate any leftover sauce as long as it hasn't been in contact with the raw pork. It will keep for 4 to 5 weeks.
• Place the pork in a roasting pan and cover with a lid, foil, or plastic wrap. Refrigerate to marinate at least 24 hours or for up to two days.
• When ready to cook, let the pork sit at room temperature at least one hour or until it reaches room temperature. Then, preheat oven to 450 F.
• Line a roasting pan with heavy foil and insert a roasting rack.
• Roast pork uncovered for 30 minutes at this high heat, and then lower the temperature to 325 F.
• Roast for an additional 3 to 4 hours. If you notice the crust starting to over-blacken, cover again with aluminum foil. The pork is done when an instant-read thermometer (inserted in the thickest part of the meat away from fat) reads 180 to 190 F.
• Remove from the oven and rest for 30 minutes before carving.
• Serve with your favorites sides and enjoy!
