Mix the spices together in a bowl, then rub generously over the pork . Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but overnight is preferable. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Put the pork in a roasting pan, cover with aluminum foil and roast for about 3 hours. Uncover, then roast for another hour. A thermometer stuck into the thickest part of the pork should register 170 degrees F, but basically, what you want to do is to roast it until it's falling apart. While the pork is roasting, make the barbecue sauce. Combine the vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, honey and spices in a saucepan over medium heat.
