Wow, looks great!!  I've always liked chicken mole and never thought about pork............now, my mouth is wet and thinking.  It's amazing that so many people don't know about the wonders of chocolate and meat and when I mention it, they make a funny face, but once they taste it, they want more.  I sometimes add some peanut butter or ground up pumpkin seeds to the rub/paste.

BTW..........what's the rum for???not mentioned in the ingredients.................
