Notes about this recipe

    Requires cooking for at least 3.5 hours. Can substitute the book's "Taco sauce" for pico de gallo. Can use the book's "Pico de gallo".

    Super easy to make in crockpot. Tastes better than chipotle. I had boneless shoulder and while I cut down size it made a huge amount of next time would do smaller size

    Delicious!! I made it in the Instapot and it was pretty easy to shred. Flavor was fine after initial cooking, but really incredible after pan frying - I'd definitely use that technique again. Agree with the other reviewer who mentioned crisping in the rendered fat - I didn't really need any canola oil.

    I cooked a 4 lb bone-in pork butt in the slow cooker for 7 hrs on high and it practically shredded itself. I thought the flavor improved significantly after crisping. Instead of canola oil, I used some of the (copious) skimmed fat to crisp the pork and was able to do it in 2 batches instead of 4. I wasn't sure if the sauce should be strained - I didn't strain it and it was fine. Delicious and easy.

    The pork turned out juicy and falling apart in the slow cooker. Most of the time I don't worry about caramelising it. Freezes well and works well served in tacos or on its own with mashed potato and veg.

    Honestly I didn’t have the orange juice so I added fresh pineapple, lime and lemon juice. The pork came out great. And I put it in the slow cooked half frozen and it worked! Fell apart beautifully and soaked up all the flavor of the sauce. I didn’t have time to carmelize the pork but it was still very good.
