  • Combine the remaining garlic, jerk seasoning, and salt, rub all over pork (you may want to wear gloves).
  • Place in a large container, pour the lime and orange juice over the pork; cover and refrigerate 5 hours or overnight, turning pork occasionally so the marinade covers all of pork.

  • After 9 hours, remove pork and shred using two forks.
  • Remove liquid from crock pot and reserve.
  • Add shredded pork back to the slow cooker.

  • Let it cook an additional 15 minutes.
