Finely chop garlic, thyme leaves and pepper.  Add the pork, salt and seasonings to a bowl and mix.

Place in a sterilized glass jar then top with vinegar, sugar and water.

Place in a cool, dark place for at least four days to 1 week.  You can also place it in the fridge.

After pork has sat for at least four days, pour all ingredients in a strainer to drain the liquid.

Pat meat dry and remove excess seasoning.

Place the pork in a pan over medium heat and let it cook until all the liquid has evaporated.  If the pork doesn't render any fat, add a tbsp of oil and fry until golden brown.  Serve warm.
