I just got a nice little book today "Hawaii's Best Tropical Food & Drinks" and it has what looks like a very easy recipe for Kalua Pork. Take a peek at it and let me know if any of you chefs out there have additional tips. (I am cooking challenged.....but willing to try!!!)

Boneless Pork Raost
Liquid Smoke
2-3 large cloves of garlic minced (can I use prepared garlic???)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons rum
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 small jar strained peaches-baby food
3 ounces chopped macadamia nuts

Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Brush roast with liquid smoke and garlic; sear in oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 275 degrees. Combine soy sauce and chili powder. Brush on roast, insert meat thermometer and roast until medium well. Combine butter, rum, brown sugar and peaches in a small saucepan and stir constantly until melted. Brush over roast and sprinkle with nuts. Continue cooking 10 to 15 minutes. Slice and serve.

SOUNDS YUMMY!!!
