Slice the pork shoulder to allow seasoning to penetrate and cook faster.

Season the pork with salt, JK seasoning, paprika, cajun seasoning, lemon pepper, green seasoning blend, garlic, onion, and peppers.

Add a tip of browning sauce for color and some pimento seeds and ginger; rub the seasoning into the pork, getting it into the cuts.

Allow the pork to marinate for at least 1 hour.

In a thick Dutch pot, add cooking oil and sugar to caramelize the sugar until it foams.

Once foaming, add the marinated pork to the pot to sear on both sides for color.

Add a small amount of water to the pot, ensuring it roasts rather than boils.

Cover the pot and cook on the lowest heat, checking occasionally and flipping the pork as needed.

When the liquid dries out, add a tad bit more water to continue cooking.

Cook until the meat is tender, roughly 45 minutes.

Slice the pork and serve.
