Even my picky children loved it. It was very easy to make and the base recipe for the sauce can be easily modified with orange juice and molasses, but use the brown sugar, too. The sauce makes for a great marinade. I scored the fat with six cris-crossing lines and soaked for 24 hours then smoked with oak wood over a water pan with rosemary leaves in it.
