2. In a pot, add the pork, onion, jalapeño, garlic, and orange juice, then cover with a lid. Boil on medium heat. Once it boils, turn off the fire and leave it for ~1 hour (the temperature will be kept constant as long as the lid is on). Once an hour has passed, turn on the heat again and boil on medium heat. Repeat this for ~10 hours.
