Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pork shoulder or leg (5 lb.), excess fat removed
1 cup KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing
1/4 cup orange juice
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup dry sherry
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
2 large onions, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
6 cloves garlic, peeled, sliced

Steps:

  • 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.
