To prepare this dish, core the pork leg and apply a generous amount of wet jerk seasoning, dry jerk seasoning, garlic powder, apple cider vinegar, and pimento seeds. Allow the pork to marinate in the refrigerator for one week. Bring the pork to room temperature before roasting. Place it in a preheated 375°F oven for 3-4 hours, basting regularly with the jerk seasoning. Once thoroughly cooked, slice the leg and serve it with jerk sauce, rice and peas, or ground provisions and dumplings.
