Pork Carnitas

Pork Carnitas by Heather
3 tsp. salt
3 tsp. garlic powder
3 tsp. ground cumin
1 ½ tsp. crumbled dried oregano
1 ½ tsp. ground coriander
½ tsp. cinnamon
1 (2-3 lb.) boneless pork should roast
2 bay leaves
2 C. chicken broth

1. Mix together salt, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, coriander,
and cinnamon in a bowl. Coat pork with the spice mixture. Place
the bay leaves in the bottom of a slow cooker and place the
pork on top. Pour the chicken broth around the sides of the
pork, being careful not to rinse off the spice mixture.

2. Cover and cook on Low until the pork shreds easily with a
fork, about 10 hours. Turn the meat after it has cooked for 5
hours. When the pork is tender, remove from slow cooker, and
shred with two forks. Use cooking liquid as needed to moisten
the meat."
