Pork Carnitas (Super-Juicy Stovetop Method)

I love to search the Community for the 5 star recipes! Once I find them I tag them "5star". I've rated the ones I've actually tried. I like to find top rated recipes so I can try them first since I don't have much time to cook. Wish there was a way we could see the ratings on community recipes! Please tag your Keepers with "5star" I would love to try them too!
