Ingredients

1 bone-in pork shoulder butt roast (4 pounds)
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons whole cloves
GLAZE:
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce or reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

Preheat oven to 300°. Pat meat dry. Combine cinnamon, ginger, garlic powder and salt; sprinkle mixture over meat, patting to adhere. Insert whole cloves about 1 in. apart. Place on a rack in 15x10x1-in. baking pan lined with foil. Let stand 30 minutes. Bake until fork-tender, about 3 hours. Remove from oven; discard cloves. Increase oven setting to 425°., For glaze, microwave ingredients on high until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Brush glaze over roast. Return to oven until dark brown and caramelized, 12-15 minutes, brushing with glaze halfway through cooking. Remove from oven; let stand 45 minutes before slicing.
