Simple Crockpot Carnitas - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs pork shoulder, boneless
salt, as needed
2 cups fresh lard

Preparation

Turn your crockpot (aka a slow cooker) on high.
Heat your lard in the microwave until it has melted and add to the crockpot.
Cut your pork shoulder into about 7 pieces and sprinkle with salt.
Place the pork pieces in the crockpot leaving spaces between the meat.
Cover and cook until the meat is tender.
Notes: Brown the cooked meat for a few minutes under the broiler if desired. I have also doubled the meat and the lard and let the meat boil in the lard until tender.
