Ingredients:  
4 lb. boneless pork loin roast
6 garlic cloves, peeled and mashed
1/2 tbsp. salt
1 bay leaf, ground
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. ground cumin

Directions:
Directions:
Trim excess fat and cut slits in the roast. Combine garlic, salt, bay leaf, oregano, thyme, and pepper in food processor, grind into a paste. Rub this paste well into the roast, then put it into a large bowl. Then combine the onions, olive oil, rum, orange and lime juices, mix well and pour over the roast. Turn the roast, make sure it is well covered with the sauce. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 24 hours, turning occasionally.

Preheat oven to 350º, remove the roast from the sauce (save the sauce), pat dry and place in a roasting pan lightly coated with olive oil. Roast for one hour at 350º, turning to brown all sides. Then pour the reserved sauce over the roast, tent with aluminum foil, reduce heat to 300º, and cook for another 2½ hours. Baste often and cook until the roast is well done. Let it rest, then cut or pull into pieces. Drizzle with the sauce.
