In a large skillet or in slow cooker if it has the saute feature, add the oil over medium-high heat.

Salt and pepper all sides of the pork. Sear on all sides to lock in the flavor and make a perfect crust on the meat.

In the slow cooker, add orange and lime juices, garlic, cumin, oregano, red pepper flakes and bay leaves; stir. Add pork to the slow cooker; spoon marinade over all the sides of the pork roast.

Cook on Low for 8 hours or 6 hours on High.

To thicken the sauce, remove some of the drippings; add in cornstarch; stir well with a fork or a whisk.

8 servings.

*Use orange juice and limes or lemons and limes in substitution for sour oranges. The combo recreates the same flavor.
