Ingredients

• ¾ cup white sugar
• 2 teaspoons salt
• ½ cup fresh lime juice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic, and salt until the sugar dissolves.

Step 3

Place the loin of pork in a roasting pan, and scatter the onion rings and bay leaves over it. Pour lime-ginger mixture over the meat, and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 12 hours or so, turning every once in a while.

Step 4

Roast, uncovered, for about 3 1/2 hours; baste frequently with pan juices. For a well done roast, cook until the internal temperature of the roast is 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
