1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. dry oregano
1/2 c. sour orange juice (or use 1/4 c. orange
juice and 1/4 c. lime juice
1/4 c. olive oil Place pork cubes in a self-sealing plastic bag; mix together remaining ingredients and pour over pork cubes; seal bag and refrigerate overnight. Remove pork from marinade, discarding marinade, and place pork cubes in a shallow baking pan. Roast at 350 degrees fahrenheit for 25 to 1/2 an hour, until pork is tender. Remove to serving platter and serve hot. Serves 6.
