1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 teaspoon dried leaf oregano leaves

Mix sugar, chili powder, ground cayenne pepper, oregano and pepper, and rub over the pork roast. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.

Heat oven to 325°. Place pork, fat side up, on rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer or oven probe so that the tip is in the thickest part of the pork and doesn't rest in the fat. Roast, uncovered, until thermometer registers about 165°, about 2 hours.
