___________________________________________________________________________________________
In a large bowl or casserole dish, whisk together the orange juice, water, vinegar, rum, garlic, oregano, rosemary, thyme, sage, bay leaves, salt and brown sugar. Add the pork, cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
In another large bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the mojo marinade.
Once the pork has been in the brine for at least 12 hours, transfer it into the mojo marinade bowl and rub to completely cover the pork. Cover and refrigerate for another 2 hours.
Remove and large pieces or herbs from the pork before placing into a preheated oven (75c) for 2 hours and 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover with foil, rest for 30 minutes.
Cut the pork into ¼ inch thick slices for the sandwiches.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
To make the sandwiches, slice the bread and spread butter on the inside. Place butter side down in a frying pan (medium heat) to toast the inside first. Keep the pan on the heat.
Meanwhile, heat a little veg oil in another frying pan and add the sliced pork in batches to sear and heat through. Repeat this with the ham.
Spread bustard on the top half of the bread and layer a few slices of the pork, ham, cheese and a few slices of pickle.
Close the sandwich before spreading butter on the outside of the top and bottom and toast the outside of the sandwich in the first frying pan.
