Roasted pulled pork

My daughter is presently sitting next to me eating black olives and watching Spongebob.

The week has been busy with work, but as promised, here is the pulled pork recipe. The exact measurements for the ingredients are not terribly important to this dish.

2 lb. boneless pork shoulder or butt
2 tsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. pepper
1 tbs. cumin
1/2 C. apricot jam
2 jalapenos sliced into rings (can also used canned)
2 sliced purple onions

flour or corn tortillas
1 lime cut into wedges
1 C. chopped cilantro for the tacos

Preheat oven to 350. Combine all ingredients in a bowl, being sure pork is mixed well with the ingredients. Wrap the pork with ALL of the seasonings, onions and jalapenos in Aluminum foil. Make sure the aluminum foil completely surrounds the pork. Put the aluminum enclosed food into a pie dish to catch any drippings that may drip out.

Bake for 4 hours. Let rest and pull pork apart with a fork. Serve over warm tortillas and add a squeeze of lime juice and a sprinking of cilantro.
