This low and slow cooked pork shoulder is rich, savory, and subtly sweet from an ample amount of fresh oranges. Adding whole pieces of orange adds a welcome bitterness from the orange peel in addition to the citrusy sweetness of the juice. After slow cooking, the pork is broiled to develop some dark browning and additional flavor. We spoon the pan liquid over the pork, but you can boil it down on the stovetop if you want something closer to a gravy like consistency.
