I made this recipe for 100 people (40 pounds of pork. I could not find guava jam so I used guava juice, canned sugar cane, and frozen banana leaves. Since I did not have a grill that could accommodate the meat, I browned the meat under my broiler and then placed the roasts in two roasters lined with aluminum foil and the banana leaves. I added the rest of the ingredients on top and covered it with more banana leaves. Then I sealed it with aluminum foil. I cooked them on high for about an hour, then turned down the heat to 200 and let it cook over night. After shredding, I made some more of the marinade and mixed it with the roaster juices and poured it over the shredded meat to keep it moist.

Note: I reduced the salt and pepper to teaspoons instead of tablespoons as I cannot stand things that are too salty and omitted the oil altogether. Then I seasoned it to taste after I shredded it.

Had all of the ingredients but changed the guava jam to half guava jelly half guava paste. Came out wonderfully. Next time I may serve with some of the guava sauce on the side =

Use banana Peel inseatd of Banana leaves or even ti leaves.
Use skewers instead of sugar cane stalks. Really don't need it.
Use any kind of jam instead of Guava.
Or just rub the pork with salt and liquid smoke.
Cover with foil bake for 3 hours.
Shred when cooled and add the liquid from the pan to keep moist.

had difficulty finding some of the ingredients, but necessity is the mother of invention. Used peanut oil instead of macadamia nut oil. Seared the roast on top of the stove. Lined a pan with heavy duty foil. Omitted the banana leaves and sugar cane as they were nowhere to be found. Used the rest of the ingredients and tented the foil. Roasted in the oven @ 325 for 3 hours. During last 20 minutes added crushed macadamia nuts to top of roast to form crust. I LOVE GUAVA and the smell and flavor of this while cooking was a wonderful aroma throughout the house. Extremely moist and tender. My husband loved.

My husband and I made this for friends and family for a mid summer bash and it turned out awsome. I had a little bit of trouble finding the banana leaves due to the fact that we are in Oregon... but we found some in a small mexican shop.
