Preheat the oven to 200°C. Blend the chipotle pepper with orange juice, lime juice, cumin, and achiote. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat, pour in the previous preparation, and add the orange zest, sugar substitute, cinnamon, and cloves. Cook until the sauce thickens. Strain if necessary. Using a knife, poke the pork leg with roasted garlic, season with salt and pepper, and tie with string to maintain its shape. Baste with the sauce, cover with aluminum foil. In a high heat skillet with oil, sear the leg on all sides. Transfer to a baking dish and baste with the sauce. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake the pork leg for 2 hours and constantly baste with the sauce to glaze it. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Slice and serve with the remaining sauce. Accompany with mashed potatoes.
