In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped scallions, thyme leaves, crushed allspice, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce to create a paste. Rub this paste all over the pork shoulder, making incisions to allow the flavors to penetrate.

Place the seasoned pork in a roasting pan. Cover tightly with foil.

Roast for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pierced with a fork. The internal temperature should reach at least 195°F (90°C) for shreddable pork, or 160°F (71°C) for sliced pork.

While the pork is roasting, prepare the sorrel glaze. In a saucepan, combine dried sorrel, water, brown sugar, cinnamon stick, and cloves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes until the liquid has reduced and thickened slightly. Strain the mixture, discarding the solids, and set the glaze aside.

During the last 30 minutes of roasting, remove the foil from the pork. Brush the sorrel glaze generously over the pork. Continue roasting, basting occasionally with the glaze, until the pork is caramelized and has a beautiful sheen.

Let the pork rest for 15-20 minutes before carving or shredding.

Serve the roast pork with the remaining sorrel glaze drizzled over the top.
