Ingredients
  

Pork

  • 3 lb boneless pork shoulder blade roast lean, all fat removed
  • 6 cloves garlic crushed
  • 2 tbsp Jerk Seasoning
  • 0.5 tsp coarse salt
  • 1 lime squeezed
  • 0.5 cup fresh orange juice

Caribbean Salsa

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Using a sharp knife, cut slits into the pork and stuff holes with half of the crushed garlic.
  • Combine the remaining garlic, jerk seasoning, and salt. Rub all over pork. You may want to wear gloves.
  • Place the pork in a large container. Pour the lime and orange juice over the pork. Cover and refrigerate for 5 hours or overnight, turning pork occasionally so the marinade covers all of it.
  • The next morning, put everything from the container into the slow cooker. Cook on LOW for 9 hours.
  • After 9 hours, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred using two forks.
  • Remove the liquid from the slow cooker and reserve.
  • Add the shredded pork back to the slow cooker.
  • Add about 1 cup of the reserved liquid back into the slow cooker with the pork. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper.
  • Let it cook for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the Caribbean salsa: combine all the salsa ingredients in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate the salsa until ready to serve.
