Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill.

  2. Season the pork leg with salt and pepper; if deboned, tie it with kitchen twine.

  3. Secure the pork leg onto the rotisserie rod.

  4. Place the pork on the rotisserie over medium, indirect heat with a drip pan containing 1 inch of water below.

  5. Cook for about 4 hours, or until 150 F (65 C) internal temperature, basting 3-4 times with pan drippings.

  6. Combine brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, dry mustard, and ground cloves, then brush this glaze over the pork.

  7. Continue cooking for 30-45 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 F and a crust forms.

  8. Remove the pork, tent with foil, and let rest for 10-15 minutes.

  9. Remove the rotisserie rod, forks, and twine, then carve the roast into 1/4-inch slices.
