Instructions

To prep, place pork, onions, vinegar, water, salt, black pepper, sugar, cloves and bay leaves in a large pot. Cover and let sit in the refrigerator for 2-3 days to marinate. Turn meat daily. Remove meat from marinade and pat dry. Set extra marinade aside.
Season flour with salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle over pork.
Heat vegetable oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add meat and cook for about 10 minutes or until brown on all sides.
Pour extra marinade over meat, cover and simmer at medium-low heat. Let simmer for 3.5-4 hours, until pork is tender. Remove and slice.
Strain liquid from pot to remove any solids. Continue cooking this mixture at medium heat. Add cookies and let simmer until this reaches a thick gravy consistency.
Pour fresh gravy over sliced pork and enjoy!
