Ingredients:

Serving

7 cups water, divided
2 tbsp cumin seeds
2 tbsp grated lime rind
1 tbsp mexican dried oregano
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 (7-oz) can chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, chopped
2 cups ice cubes
1 (3-lb) boneless pork loin, trimmed
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp mexican dried oregano
2 garlic cloves, minced

Combine 1 cup water, cumin, rind, 1 tablespoon oregano, and 6 garlic cloves in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; remove from heat. Pour into a large bowl; cool to room temperature. Add remaining 6 cups water, salt, and sugar, stirring until salt and sugar dissolve. Stir in chiles. Pour salt mixture into a 2-gallon zip-top plastic bag. Add ice and pork; seal.

Brush juice mixture over pork. Bake at 450° for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325° (do not remove pork from oven); bake an additional 45 minutes or until thermometer inserted into thickest portion of pork registers 155°. Place pork on a platter.
