Ingredients

  • 8 cups orange juice
  • 8 ounces fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 8 ounces roasted garlic
  • 4 tablespoons oregano leaf
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons black pepper
  • 6 to 8 bay leaves
  • 1 medium onion, minced
  • One 8 to 10-pound bone-in Boston butt
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano powder

Method

  • Combine the orange juice, lemon juice, roasted garlic, oregano leaf, salt, pepper, bay leaves and onions, and mix in a large jar with a tight fitting lid.
  • Marinade is best if refrigerated for up to 8 hours and will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks.
  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Ladle 10 ounces of marinade on top of the Boston butt in a roasting pan and sprinkle the oregano powder on top.
  • Place in the oven and bake uncovered for 10 hours.
  • (Danny likes to prepare his marinade in the morning, allow it to ferment throughout the day and places his Boston Butt in the oven to cook overnight.)
