I was craving carnitas and didn't want to fight the cliche crowds, on Cinco de Mayo. This was AMAZING!!! I saved the broth, thickened it with a tablespoon of corn starch, brought it to a boil, and spooned a bit over the meat....after i shredded it, and placed it under the broiler for about 5 mins, to crisp the edges. I have to say, this may be WAY better than what I remember having in the restaurants...and I live in Northern California, so Mexican food is pretty accessible here. I followed the recipe exactly (but added one extra orange, because mine were small), my pork shoulder was approx 3.15lbs, and there were only 2 of us...we have enough for approx 1.5 more dinners for the 2 of us. My husband had 3 small soft tortillas as tacos and I just had meat. Maybe it shrinks....maybe we eat a lot. But it was AMAZING!! Thank you so much for sharing!! :) Feliz Cinco de Mayo!!

This was so easy, tender and delicious. I used it for soft tacos and also made bbq pork sandwiches. Everyone loved it.

Very easy in the crock pot. I expected more essence of orange, but didn't really get it. Tasted great though, and was very tender.

A little salty, but GREAT flavor and super tender! Had to boil down the juices because they were a little thin, but I'll definitely be making this again!

Delicious.. Seasoning was spot on! I had this in a whole wheat tortilla with green chili salsa, queso and cabbage. I wish I could eat more, but I have to save the rest for meals the rest of the week, I'll be making this often, that's for sure

My husband said these were the best carnitas he has ever had! Delish! I put them in the crockpot on low for 8 hours and it came out perfectly!

Love it! I have made this 5+ times. I use half the salt and it is still delicious. I use the leftover broth to make Mexican Rice II.

This was so good! My husband loved this recipe! I put everything in a crock pot for 8 hours on low and the meat came out so tender. I have a feeling my husband will be asking for this again really soon.

This was easy and delicious. It also made the house smell wonderful and the broth is awesome so I strained everything out of it and will use it for tortilla soup or some other dish requiring broth. I also used the crockpot and only had 5 hours until dinner. The meat was done and tasted great but I would have let it go longer to get the better texture. Wonderful!
