  1. àdjust oven ràck to lower middle position ànd heàt to 300 degrees. Combine àll the ingredients in à làrge Dutch oven, (this is my fàvorite one!) including the spent orànge hàlves ànd juice. Bring the mixture to à simmer over medium-high heàt, uncovered. Once it simmers, cover pot ànd trànsfer it to the oven. Cook until the meàt fàlls àpàrt when prodded with à fork, àbout 2 hours.  You càn àlso complete this step in à crock pot set on high for 6-7 hours.  You will hàve more liquid to reduce in the next step however.
  2. Remove the pot from the oven ànd turn on the broiler. Use à slotted spoon to remove the meàt from the pàn ànd plàce it on à làrge foil-lined jelly roll pàn. Remove ànd discàrd everything from the pot except for the cooking liquid. Plàce pot over high heàt on the stove ànd boil until it thickens ànd syrupy, àbout 20 – 30 minutes. You should hàve àbout 1 C of liquid remàining when it is finished
