Ingredients
2 boneless pork rump roasts, about 3 pounds each
3 tablespoons Hawaiian or coarse salt
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1/2 cup guava jam, prepared

1 stalk sugar cane, split in half lengthwise

grill to lock in the natural juices. Whisk together guava jam, oil, and 1 teaspoon of
water. Season with fresh cracked pepper. Rub the pork with guava paste. Set 2 wide pieces
of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a flat surface. Lay 5 banana leaves on each piece of foil
in a crisscross pattern, then place the pork roasts on top. Fold the banana leaves up
around the roasts to make a bundle. Insert a sugar cane spear through the banana leaves
and into the pork to secure. Tent the foil over the roasts and seal 3 of the sides to form
a pouch. Mix liquid smoke and remaining water together in a small bowl, pour it into the
pouch. Close up the remaining edge of foil to lock in the moisture and flavor. Transfer
back to the hot grill. Roast for 2 1/2 to 3 hours with the grill cover down. When the pork
is cool enough to handle, shred using 2 forks.
