Sweet Apple Carnitas

This is really quick and easy and makes for a great meal and leftovers. The meat can be used so many ways. Tacos, sandwich, rice bowl, enchiladas, etc. 

Ingredients:

• 3lb pork roast (plus sirloin or other bone-in chops if desired)
• 1 sliced onion
• 6 smashed cloves garlic
• 1 1/2 C organic orange juice
• 1/2 C apple cider vinegar
• 1T salt
• 2t freshly toasted and ground cumin
• 1/2t whole coriander 

Instructions:

1. Put thawed or frozen roasts (and chops if desired) into a crockpot on low (~180 degrees)
2. Add all the ingredients
3. Cook on low for 8-10 hours
4. Pull bones from the roasts/chop and chop/shred the meat. 
5. Return meat back to the sauce
6. Serve or leave on 'keep warm' for up to 12 hours (~155 degrees)

Notes:

This is a great way to use up any extra leaner chops like sirloin, the marbled meat from the Boston Roast (pork shoulder) makes it super moist.  

Don't try to skim off the fat or pull it out. After cooking this long, it will help keep the meat moist and amazing. There is so much flavor and nutrients in our pasture raised pork fat, you don't want to miss out on that!
