Pickin' Pork

Pork leg, roast, shank or fresh ham
Garlic, minced
Vinegar
Worcestershire sauce

Trim pork of all skin and fat.

Season lavishly with garlic, vinegar, Worcestershire, bay leaves, salt, pepper and lemon juice.

Place pork on several large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Cover with lots of sauce; wrap tightly in foil. Place in deep roasting pan to protect oven from spills.

Bake at 200 for 8 to 15 hours (depending on size of roast a whole ham takes 15 hours to overnight). < Pork will be so tender it will fall apart. Pick meat apart with two forks.

Mix in some juices from roasting pan and some barbeque sauce.
