 James's Shredded Pork

 

3 Lb Pork shoulder or roast, cut in 2" cubes
1/2 c Chopped onion
1 t Thyme*
1 t Marjoram*
Salt & pepper to taste
12 oz Pepsi or Coke
1/2 c Orange juice
*This is a best guess - she wasn't measuring it. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat (NO FAT/OIL). When the pan is hot, add pork and brown well on all sides (the meat is fatty & shouldn't need oil). When meat is just about done, add the onion and cook till transparent. Add remaining ingredients & bring to simmer. Cover & cook 5 minutes. If there is still any liquid in the pan, uncover & continue to cook until it's evaporated.
Remove the pork to a plate to cool. When cool enough to handle, shred the pork with your hands removing as much of the fatty pieces as possible. Can be served alone or in soft taco shells.
