Remove the pork cracklings with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Chop 6 onions using a chopper.

Add the diced pork and chopped onions to the pan.

Stir in 8 teaspoons of salt and 1.5 teaspoons of all spice.

Slowly pour in 2 cups of boiling water and mix well.

Cover the pan halfway and simmer on medium heat for 1.5 hours until the water is gone.

Grind the mixture using a meat grinder after simmering.

Let the mixture cool slightly, then fill containers and freeze.
