My first attempt at carnitas was a resounding success! In addition to the lard, I also used some bacon fat, and cooked the whole thing in my slow cooker for about 7 hours. I found the pork a bit dry, so I think that next time I would cook this the night before, separate out the fat from the other liquid and after crisping, toss the pork in some of the liquid before serving. Really fantastic recipe, though.

Wow! This is a great recipe! My favorite part was the smell filling up the house while the meat was roasting. I can see a carnitas party in the future with my friends!!
*I didn’t use the lard. I thought it was unnecessary.
