In a bowl: add garlic, onion, orange juice, lime juice, cumin, pepper, salt, oil, oregano and mix. In a separate extra large bowl: add Boston butt. Pour the marinade over the meat. Lift both sides of the pork up (use a tong, wooden spoon or hands); this will allow the juice to go underneath the meat. Then cover the bowl with saran wrap and refrigerate for 10-12 hours.
