The cut of pork most often used for Authentic Carnitas is the pork butt, which is ironically not the butt of the pig, but its shoulder. When pork butt is cooked over low heat for an extended period of time, it turns into juicy, tender bites of pork perfection. Don't trim the fat, you want the fat to help keep the meat moist during the long slow cooking process. Whisk together fresh orange juice, fresh lime juice, olive oil, garlic cloves, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. You can use the same baking dish, just be sure to remove the leftover fruit and veggie chunks.
