Cover the grill and cook for 2 hours. Using a silicone brush, baste the pork with the reserved basting liquid every 30 minutes until it's used up. Continue cooking until tender when pierced with a fork and an instant-read thermometer registers 190°F in the center, another 5 to 6 hours, checking the temperature on the grill. Transfer the pork to a cutting board. Let it rest until cool enough to handle. Remove teh pork from teh bone, cut into 2-inch chunks, and serve.

JERK PORK WITH RICE & BEANS

Steps:

• Half fill the kettle and put on to boil.Warm the oil in a large nonstick frying pan over a low heat while you tip the jerk sauce into a shallow dish and use to coat the pork steaks on both sides. Place them in the hot oil (reserve the sauce left in the bowl) and turn up the heat. Fry for 4 minutes on each side until cooked and richly glazed.
• While the pork is frying, pour 150ml/1⁄4 pint of boiling water into a medium pan over a high heat and crumble in the stock cube and creamed coconut. Trim and slice the spring onions, holding them together as a bunch so you can chop them all in one go. Add to the pan, give a quick stir, then tip in the rice and beans. Stir and heat gently, breaking down any clumps of rice with a spoon. If the rice looks a little dry, add an extra splash of water.
• Tip the remaining sauce into the pan to heat through with the pork. Pile the rice onto plates, top with the pork and spoon the pan juices over.

JAMAICAN JERK PORK LOIN

Evenly rub the entire pork loin with the jerk seasoning mixture. Place pork loin in a shallow greased roasting pan, and bake for 20 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 300 degrees F and continue baking for about 1 more hour, or until a meat thermometer stuck in the thickest part reads 145 degrees F. Remove from oven and let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
