  • Place the pork in a large, heavy bottomed pot or dutch oven. Add the orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and salt. Add just enough water to the pot to cover the pork.
  • Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer uncovered, without stirring, for 2 hours.
  • Increase the heat to medium high and stir/turn the meat occasionally. The more you move the meat around the more it will fall apart.
  • Continue cooking for 45 minutes or until all of the water has evaporated, leaving only the pork fat. Let it fry, stirring often to break up the meat, until the pieces are somewhat crispy and browned.
