Pork Carnitas

Contributed by: Debbie

Debbie's 40th birthday fell on Thanksgiving Day in 2005. She located and made this recipe for the first time that day. It is absolutely delicious.

1 4-5 lb boneless pork butt (boston butt)
2 small cans Herdez Salsa Verde
1 large onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbl Seasoned salt
2 tsp pepper

Preheat oven to 300
Place pork in a 9 x 14 pan. Rub garlic into it. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cover with Salsa Verde.
Losely cover pan with foil and bake for 4 1/2 hours or until fork tender. Remove and cool until you can handle.
Remove pork to a cutting board. Skim fat from pan juices.
Using two forks, shred pork and remove fat.
When meat is shredded, return it to the pan and mix with pan juices thoroughly.
Return to oven and cook uncovered for 30 minutes or until crispy on top.
Remove from oven and turn pork.
Return to oven and cook for about 20 minutes or until pork is crispy on top and almost no liquid remains.
