  1. I followed this recipe for a Pernil I cooked up last night. THE BEST PERNIL I ever made. I was a little suspicious of the simple marinade and didn't think it would be very flavorful. Boy was I wrong! The fresh ingredients make all the difference. Full of flavor and the meat literally fell right off the bone. Jeff and Jo, you guys rock! Thank you for this recipe!

  2. I’m definitely using the skin method but don’t use adobo. I love making my spice blend with natural ingredients. I would recommend adding a bit of cayenne pepper to really bring out the flavors but I use fresh peppers.

  3. Every year I follow this recipe with the exception of adding water because I use double disposable foil pan. I’m not worried about the dripping burning and I don’t make gravy so the meat will naturally release. It’s water and grease.

  4. I've made pernil twice in my life. Not because I don't want to or like pernil. It's just that the two times I have, the pernil developed a flavor and smell that I can't explain. I'm going to refer to it as gamey? or gamie? I know that it's me, something I'm doing or not doing. Can someone please tell me what it is I'm doing wrong..? I'll follow a recipe to the "T" and still I cannot get past the gaminess. Yet, when others make it, it doesn't have that "gamey flavor.
