Pork Preparation

Marinate the Pork
In a large bowl, combine garlic cloves (minced), orange juice, lime juice, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the pork shoulder and coat it evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Roast the Pork
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the marinated pork shoulder in a roasting pan and cover it with aluminum foil. Roast for approximately 3 to 4 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded. Remove from the oven and let it rest before shredding.
