Adding Cuban-style appeal to roast pork is as easy as letting it sit a spell in a marinade made with citrusy juices, dry sherry and ground cumin.

Let's Make It

Pierce meat all over with tip of sharp knife. Place in large non-reactive bowl.

Mix dressing, fruit juices, sherry and cumin in large bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup dressing mixture; pour remaining dressing mixture over meat. Add onions and garlic; cover bowl. Refrigerate several hours or overnight to marinate.

Heat oven to 350°F. Remove meat from marinade; discard marinade. Pat meat dry, then place in foil-lined roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer into thickest part of meat, being careful to not touch bone with thermometer. Bake 1 hour or until browned on all sides, turning occasionally.

Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Pour reserved dressing mixture over meat; cover loosely with foil. Bake 3 hours or until thermometer registers 180°F, basting frequently with pan juices and removing foil for the last 30 min. of baking time. Let stand 15 min. before slicing to serve.
