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.
