Slice your onions ultra thin & soak overnight in the vinegar/water/sugar mixture.  Then remove

& drain well.  Combine the onion slices with ...

                                                 1/4 to 1/2 C.  Mayonnaise

                                                 Celery Salt to taste

Mix well & put in an air-tight container.  This will keep for about a week in the refrigerator & will soon become a summertime staple, we assure you!

3/4 C DRY RUB (use your favorite or the recipe to follow)

1.  Massage the dry rub into the meat & double wrap it in plastic wrap & refrigerate for at    least 3 hours.  We like to hold it overnight & for a stronger flavor up to 3 days.

2.  Remove from refrigerator, unwrap & let come to room temp.

3.  Place in oven that's been pre-heated to 275 degrees & bake, unwrapped, at this temp for 3 hours.

4.  Remove & wrap the roast in foil, kick up the oven temp to 325 & cook an additional 3 hours.

5.  Remove from oven & let it rest for an hour before unwrapping, let it cool until you can touch it, pull the pork away & serve w/ you favorite sauce.  (We like it just like it is!)
