Pork Carnita's

Tonight I made Pork Carnita's...I found this recipe a while back online. It is very good!

 
1 (5-7 pound) pork shoulder
2 tablespoons coarse salt
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
4 whole cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 c. bone suckin sauce
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup orange juice

Place pork shoulder in crock pot and add all other ingredients.  Cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 5 hours (in my case I got mine in kind of late so therefore I used the high option-Low is better).


Next, use 2 forks and shred the pork.  I put all my spices on top of my pork therefore it looks really dark in this pic!
Place shredded pork back into crock pot and mix well.  I use large romaine lettuce leaves to eat my carnita's.  Enjoy!
