Hawaiian Roasted Pork
- 2 boneless pork rump roasts, about 3 pounds each
- 3 tablespoons Hawaiian or coarse salt
- 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup guava jam, prepared
- 2 tablespoons Macadamia nut oil
- 1 teaspoon of water, plus 1/2 cup
- 10 banana leaves, wet
- 1 stalk sugar cane, split in half lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon all-natural liquid smoke flavoring
- Season the pork roasts all over with salt and pepper.
- Prepare an outdoor barbecue by soaking mesquite wood chips in water and adding to the coals for added flavor.
- Sear the pork on the hot grill to lock in the natural juices.
- Whisk together guava jam, oil, and 1 teaspoon of water.
- Season with fresh cracked pepper.
- Rub the pork with guava paste.
- Set 2 wide pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a flat surface.
- Lay 5 banana leaves on each piece of foil in a crisscross pattern, then place the pork roasts on top.
- Fold the banana leaves up around the roasts to make a bundle.
- Insert a sugar cane spear through the banana leaves and into the pork to secure.
- Tent the foil over the roasts and seal 3 of the sides to form a pouch.
- Mix liquid smoke and remaining water together in a small bowl, pour it into the pouch.
- Close up the remaining edge of foil to lock in the moisture and flavor.
- Transfer back to the hot grill.
- Roast for 2 1/2 to 3 hours with the grill cover down.
- When the pork is cool enough to handle, shred using 2 forks.
