The ingredients for Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas are:

28 oz Hormel Always Tender Boneless Pork Loin, Fresh Pork
1 large Onions, raw
1.5 tbsp Salt
6 clove Garlic
1 cup Orange Juice
2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Oregano, ground
2 tsp Cumin seed

Here is how you make Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas:

Rinse and dry the pork shoulder, rub in salt and pepper.Combine the rub ingredients then rub all over the pork.Place the pork in a slow cooker (fat cap up), top with the onion, jalape?o, minced garlic (don't worry about spreading it) and squeeze over the juice of the orange.Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 6 hours.The meat should be tender and falling off the bone. Remove from the slow cooker and let cool slightly. Then shred the pork using two forks.Skim off the fat from the juices remaining in the slow cooker and discard the fat. Then if you are left with a lot more than 1? to 2 cups of juice, then reduce it (either in the slow cooker on the saut? setting with the lid off, or in a saucepan). Set aside.Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large non stick pan over high heat. Place shredded pork into the pan and press down and cook until the bottom side is golden brown and crusty.Pour over the juices and serve immediately (if you are using defrosted carnitas, this is not applicable as the juices are already on the meat - see Note 4c).If you are reheating the carnitas (Note 4), then flip and cook the other side briefly just to warm through. I really recommend only making one side crusty and leaving the other side juicy and moist.Serving Size: 10Number of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user IZZIGIRL.
