Instructions

This is the slow cooker pork carnitas version. For an Instant Pot, see above.

First, pat pork dry with paper towels. Combine spices in a small bowl. Rub spice mix all over pork.

Add pork and remaining ingredients to a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours.

Once pork is tender, discard all but ½ cup of the liquid. Shred pork with two forks. Discard bone(s).

Optional but highly recommended: preheat oven to broil. Add shredded pork and about ½ cup of the liquid to a baking sheet. Broil for 4 to 5 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Remove from oven and serve.
