Pour in about 1.5 cups of Crosby's fancy molasses and get the meat all wet and gooey.

Cover and let the pork marinate in the fridge for a day.

After marinating, add 4 tablespoons of oil to a roasting pan and roast the pork in the oven until browned on all sides.

Add 2 chopped onions and 400 milliliters of brewed coffee to the pan.

Cover the meat with parchment paper, seal the pot with tin foil, and put the cover on.

Bake at 350°F for 4 hours or until the meat is falling apart.
