I followed this recipe for a Pernil I cooked up last night. THE BEST PERNIL I ever made. I was a little suspicious of the simple marinade and didn't think it would be very flavorful. Boy was I wrong! The fresh ingredients make all the difference. Full of flavor and the meat literally fell right off the bone. Jeff and Jo, you guys rock! Thank you for this recipe!
Yay! So glad you enjoyed! And thanks for sharing the results. Totally agree that it's all about the fresh ingredients 😊
Wow! Now I'm going to follow this recipe for Christmas!
Yes! Feliz Navidad!
I guess im randomly asking but does any of you know a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I somehow lost the password. I would love any help you can offer me.
@Dalton Alfonso thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out atm.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Who else is here to perfect your Pernil skills for the noche buena feast 🇵🇷
Pernil for the holidays is the best!! 😄😄 Good luck!
Me 🙋🏻♀️🇵🇷
Ya tu sabes!!
Guilty as charged😊
Of
Making this as part of a meal of remembrance for our 95 year old Puerto Rican abuela who passed away recently! It's cooking now and smells amazing. She taught me everything I know about puerto rican cooking! Our feast is pernil, arroz con gandules, pan de aqua, spicy ensalada, and a creamy flan for dessert. We miss you Momo!!!
Glad you can honor her!
Sounds super fantastico!!!❤
Hi happy holidays I am trying your recipe today I am preparing my pernil tonight for tomorrow, I'll let you know how it comes out thank you
The same with my family my mom did the best pernil you can eat she passed away 8 years ago I miss her cooking on the holidays
love the sound of the cuero popping
You know it!!! Nothing like it!
Mmmmmm! That delicious pernil will go perfect with arroz con gandules!
💖🇵🇷💖🇵🇷💖🇵🇷💖🇵🇷💖🇵🇷💖🇵🇷💖
Oh yes!! And then great for leftover sandwiches the day after 😂😂
My mom made pernil every Christmas & pasteles too! She was from Cidra. RIP mi madre Bella....💖💖💖💖
Made this for my neighbor last month, which took some chutzpah since I’m Jewish and he’s Cuban. It was AMAZING. In fact, he called it “Epic.” Making it again this Sunday. Can’t wait. P.S. I hope my Rabbi doesn’t see this post! 😜
Hahahahhaha
What a wonderful neighbor he has‼️☺️ He’s very fortunate ‼️😋
Yeah, I''m jewish too, don't worry, I wont say anything, pernil is one of my favorite hata's XD BTW, if you haven't tried removing the skin to season under it and then again on top, try it, it basically becomes chicharrón, and it's so dang good.
😂😂😂😂!!!!!
Love your comment so nice to hear kindness. For a change. Enjoy your day.
When he bit into the cuerito and I heard that crunch i wanted to put my hand through the video and get me some
Hahahaha!! Gotta make some now!
Hahaha, I felt it in my ❤.
Cutting off the first bit made my mouth water
My mouth and eyes watered at the sound of the crunch.
Yeah, feel the same way....I buy chicharrones all the time....I gotta make it myself now
This is how my mom taught us to make it, simple ingredients but brings so much flavor. 🇵🇷🇵🇷
Agreed! Gotta let the pernil shine 😊
Your right,I made it this way and came out so good🇵🇷

Ive used this recipe for the pernil. 4xs now to be exact. u have mastered this pernil. your techniques such as taking the skin off and scoring the skin. Genius! Thank u so much for taking ur time to share you skills and knowledge with us.
Today was my first time eating or cooking this. Wow. Some of the best pork I've ever eaten. And most importantly, our Puerto Rican guests absolutely loved it. I added additional seasonings to the marinade and instead of water I used a combination fresh orange, lime juice and a little broth. Thanks!
Awesome!!!
Thank you! In over 40 years, this is the best Pernil I have ever made. My son can't stop raving about it!🥰
That’s wonderful to hear!
Came out delicious! Take it from this Irishman and dice up a couple potatoes during that last hour and put them in that flavored water…unbelievable flavor in them
I must leave a comment to anyone out there second guessing this recipe.. I bought a 9lb pork shoulder, followed the recipe EXACTLY and I marinated the meat for a day and a half… Preparing the skin as instructed is a must! I am also cooking for someone who is very familiar with this dish since they grew up in Puerto Rico and they were concerned from the start there was no orange in this recipe.. let me tell you that not only did this pork taste to die for, it passed extensive scrutiny and is in high demand now! It’s absolutely delicious and I’ll always make it this way from here on out.
Good, simple recipe! I used fresh oregano and garlic, marinaded for 36hrs... it came out amazing. 8lb Pork Shoulder, 3.5hrs covered 1hr 15min uncovered (non convection) to crisp the skin. The skin was crunchy and then melts in your mouth.
Thats great to hear!
Holy Boricua! I've done this recipe two times in the last month. Every other time I tried a YT pernil recipe, it was a disaster, but this is as foolproof as it gets. My only deviation from the recipe is adding a bit of homemade sofrito and, instead of water in the pan, I rinsed out the blender and seasoning left on the cutting board into a jar and added a few spoons of sofrito to make a garlic / sofrito mixture to add more flavor. Thank you Jeff for the great video!
I tried this technique for Thanksgiving. What a hit.. everyone loved it. Even the skin people were amazed of how good it came out.. thanks for your tip. 👍
I made the recipe the way it was explained (just added more garlic cloves). It was PHENOMENAL! The meat fell off the bone. The inside was moist and flavorful while the outside was crunchy. Best pernil that we have ever made and taste! We won't wait until next Christmas to do it again. :)
You can never go wrong with more garlic 😂😂 So glad you enjoyed Maria! And definitely no need to wait until the holidays for more pernil 😋
More garlic is most definitely the way to go! Any Puerto Rican, I ever broken bread with had a decent amount of garlic in “Everything...” and honestly I couldn't/wouldnt have it any other way!!!
Just made pernil , following your recipe. I have cooked over a hundred pork shoulders throughout the years, this was hands down the best I’ve ever had and I have never ate Puerto Rican food before. I made y’all arroz con gandules to go with it, also amazing.
That’s awesome to hear!! Welcome to Puerto Rican food!
Omg….i remember when my mom would cook this pork shoulder. Deliciousness 😋 the best part was the crunchy skin.
I never thought I'd be able to make a pernil - seemed complicated! But with your recipe, I've made pernil several times already, and it's always a hit with guests!! I also make Puerto Rican-style cauliflower rice to go with it (to keep it low carb). Awesome, awesome!! Thank you so much for demystifying this wonderful, traditional dish! 😋
I've been cooking pernils since my mother taught me years ago and I must say you cook it just like I do. Keep up the great service.
So glad you enjoyed! And thanks for sharing 😊😊 Feliz Navidad!! 🎄🎄🎉
It's Pernil! What more can one say! Looking Good!
Thanks! 😊😊
White guy from California cooking for his Puerto Rican wife from New Jersey. My rub became rather complicated over the years, now I'm inspired to go back to basics.
Also removing the skin is something I've never heard of. Time for a Summertime Pernil.
Nice! Please let us know how you like it!
By far the best pernil recipe!
I used this recipe and this was by far the best pernil I ever made! It beats all my aunts' recipes and that is a hard task! Taking the skin off was the game changer for me. Thanks so much, this will forever be a staple for holidays and the recipe/method I will pass on
Yay! So glad it turned out well for you and thanks for sharing your experience! Happy holidays to you and your family! 🤗🤗
You got that right…! Taking the skin off was the game changer for me to! I could never get the right Crisp. Kudos to you both J & J, Thanks!
I cant thank you enough for emphasizing the importance of the pork skin. Wepa!👍❤
You are welcome! You gotta have that crunchy skin!! 😍
Cooked this for my PR in-laws. It impressed my in-laws pride because it was better than most Pernil they’ve had! For the marinade, I just used my homemade sofrito and added extra garlic, salt, and adobo blended into it. Amazing!
Hahahahaha! One of the best comments we have received!
@@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen haha! Awesome!! It’s well-deserved! I have generations of family in PR now who are blown away that this white guy could whip out Pernil like that!
Thank you for sharing this with me @@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen
Hands down the best pernil I’ve ever had. Following this amazingly easy recipe. Thanks Jeff. 🙏🏻

Whoo!! Glad you enjoyed! Definitely nominate us for the Hall of Fame 🤣🤣🤣
This is hands down the best way to make this!!! I came across your video late last night. I just made it today for my family, and they all loved it!! THE SKIN!!! Super crunchy all around! The pernil came out really moist. Just perfect! Thank you soo much for this! I’ll never make it the regular way again!!🙏🏼💃🏼
Thank you!
Thank you for showing real Puerto Rican love Pernil is a great start
Thank you so much!! 😊
So glad i came across your video. I have been cooking for over 50 years and never knew i was cooking my pernil wrong. Thank you so very much.
You’re welcome!
I followed your recipe exactly, and my pernil came out delicious. Flavors were more less the same as before, but the crispy skin and overall juiciness was truly amazing. Now I'm the designated pernil cook of the family. Thanks for sharing your secrets.
That’s great to hear!!! 😊
Very well made. Many people out there change the marínate and makes a big difference. This is the best and simplest marinade. The way mommy used to make it. I’m glad people outside the circle enjoy this authentic dish from back home. Thank you!!
Thank you so much!!
Wow, listening to that crunch makes my mouth watering 😋
Thank you!!
Hahaha! 😋
I made this a few days after Christmas and it was a major hit! Over the years I’ve cooked lots of Mexican dishes but this was my first Puerto Rican food. I plan to do it again soon.
Thank you much,.
Glad you liked it!!
Delicious! The crispy skin is my favorite favorite part...yum!! 😋🤗❤️
Agreed! There's nothing quite like it! 🤩🤩
Very ,very well made. Thank you Jeff🇵🇷
You are welcome!! Thanks for watching!
Coming from New York growing up this was all the rave to Puerto Rican friends. It wud be the first meat gone, I mean not a trace left. I love it it's delicious! It like Ham to the American family.
Awesome!!
I keep coming back every year for a refresher, I thought I use to make it good but after following these easy steps man it comes out great, and the skin this has become a family favorite enjoy
Welcome back and thank you!! Love hearing these great reviews
Great tips for a well seasoned pernil and a crispy skin!🤤
Awesome!!
I’m definitely cooking this for New Year’s Eve dinner! 🤤🤤
Good luck! 🙌
By far the best technique I have tried. Moist on the inside, crispy on the outside. Thank you!
That’s so great to hear!! That’s exactly what we were going for!!
@@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen wish you'd give gravy recipe!
omg...makes me miss PUERTO RICO even more. The food and the people😊
Trying this cooking method for Noche Buena.......the cuerito looks amazing. Thank you for sharing this reci[e.
You are welcome!! Thanks for watching!
Made it for Thanksgiving celebration! The best pernil I've ever prepared in my life. Thank you!
That’s awesome to hear!! Thanks for watching
I just tried this recipe today and it was the BEST pernil I ever made! My kids were amazed at how amazing it was. Thank goodness for leftovers.
Yay!! So glad that you enjoyed it!
I made this for Christmas this year. It was one of the best things I've ever cooked in my life! I absolutely recommend this recipe to anyone interested in pernil!
Great to hear!!!
Looks delicious and the crispy skin...mmmm. I use the juice from the pernil to make my arroz con gandules, it gives it a lot of flavor.
That sounds delicious! I'm going to have to try that 😀🙌
When you cracked that skin I had the same reaction🤣🥰
I know! 😝😝 Food is such an amazing thing! 🤩
I’m making a pernil this Saturday for my Bible study group Christmas party and I can’t wait for them to taste it, and of course this is the recipe I’m following again. This is the best ever! ❤❤ Thank you and God bless❤
You are welcome!! Awesome!
OMGoodness! TY for sharing your culinary expertise!
Thank you so much!!
Hi there, great looking cuerito! I learned to make pernil with my Mom, who learned from her mom, who in turn, learned from her mom and so on. Her ingredients for the Adobo were 2-3 garlic cloves per pound, salt, black pepper, oregano, a bit of oil, all mashed in a pilon; as I still do. The pilon is important because it helps the garlic release its oils and the flavors are better distributed. She would always tell me "if you want the authentic Puerto Rican flavor you have to make the pernil the way I'm showing you". I've always done it that way because I love the wonderful boricua flavor. A few years ago, I went to the Island with my Sons and we went to eat at a place famous for their lechon and my son said to me "Mom this lechon rivals yours" he meant my pernil because I don't make lechon but ok. I felt so proud and I immediately thought of my Mom. The only thing I've added has been a tad of good sofrito, and a bit of recao and that's it. I noticed you didn't add any black pepper to your beautiful pernil. Is there a particular reason why?
Sounds amazing Vilma! Thanks for sharing 😊😊
My wife always says the Pilon is how you know a Puerto Rican made it. 😃
Yes black pepper is the main spice along with the garlic. I roasted whole porks every year and my grandmas seasoning of garlic, black pepper, salt, a bit of oregano plus achiote ( annato) oil was all that was used. Any other spice will change the taste.
I am puertorrican and this makes my mouth so watery. It looks perfect ❤
Thank you!!
I just made this recipe. Taste is off the charts. Thanks so
Much for sharing. I’ll definitely make this many more times in the future.
Robin! That’s amazing! So glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the feedback
Absolutely love this recipe❤🎉

Thank you! That’s wonderful to hear!
This is cooking with love. 😋
Hahaha!! Thank you!
My wife has made pernil for Christmas every year. She has tried getting that crispy skin but hasn’t been able to achieve this until she tried this recipe. Wow! My stomach and tastebuds were so happy! Everyone was impressed and happy. The recipe was a couple of steps but pretty simple and as long as you follow the steps you achieve the amazing flavor and crunchy skin. Thanks so much! My wife said she will be making this recipe every Christmas from now on :)
Yay! Thanks so much for sharing Arturo 🤗🙌 And my personal opinion is that you don't need to wait until Christmas to enjoy some more pernil 🤣🤣
@@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen very good point! Can’t wait to have it again! 😋
You made this first time pernil cooker get alot of praise at my family Thanksgiving dinner now they want it again for Christmas
Awesome!! Enjoy!
It's the CRUNCHY SKIN FOR ME! Def trying this 😊
This is the ultimate pernil recipe. My husband who is Cuban says that PR is the best at making pernil
The only thing better than Puerto Rican pernil is when they slow cook the whole hog over charcoal 🤩🤩 Glad you enjoyed the recipe! 😄
The best pernil video ! Wow 👏
Definitely I'm going to make it
Glad you enjoyed!!! Let us know how it turns out 😃

Yay!
Thank you so much, you have a very user friendly show and i very much appreciate it, not to mention your camera persona is great! ¡Wepaa mi gente! 🇵🇷
Yay! So glad you enjoyed 😊😊
I tried this recipe this past weekend and I can confirm that it's AWESOME! The marinade is simple to make and the finished product is delicious. Highly recommend. Just a note, when you're baking the pork at 450 just keep an eye on your pan. I destroyed mine because the fat burned haha. I should have kept adding more water. I will be using this recipe from now on to make pernil.
Thank you for the great feedback!! Sorry about your pan 🤭
Best recipe ever delicious thank you
Thank you so much, my first time making a Pernil and I followed your recipe and instructions and it came out great, my family loved it.
