Directions
- Make the marinade, process all of the ingredients in a blender to combine. Place the pork in a bowl (or a zip-tight 2-gallon plastic bag) and add the marinade. Cover (or close) and refrigerate, occasionally turning the pork, for at least 8 and up to 16 hours (or overnight).*
- Make the pork, let pork stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place pork and marinade in a large Dutch oven. Add orange juice, condensed milk, salt, and bay leaves. Tuck in the orange quarters. Pour oil over the pork. If needed, add water to almost cover the pork. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover tightly and bake, occasionally turning the pork over, until the meat is very tender, about 3 hours. Let stand at room temperature, uncovered, until cool enough to handle, about 1 hour. Transfer the pork to a carving board. Discard the cooking liquid. Using your fingers or two forks, shred the pork.
