Melt-in-your-mouth chunks of slowly braised pork. Omg. Heaven!
Preheat oven for 450 degrees.
In a large oven proof saucepan combine the cubed pork, stock, orange juice and salsa. This mixture should totally cover the pork; if not, add a little water until the pork is submerged. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium low and simmer with the lid on for 3.5 hours, at which point the pork should be falling apart to the touch.
Drain the liquid from the pork. Using a fork, gently pull apart the meat in the bottom of the oven proof saucepan. Place the pan into the oven for 20 minutes for the pork to caramelize.
Carefully remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt. Serve the carnitas with corn or flour tortillas, any kind of salsa and of course guacamole!

I love carnitas! Saved it to my recipe box so I can try it this winter. Thanks for posting this.
