My Favorite New Recipe...

I've been awfully bored with dinners, recently. You know the slump. It's that time of the week when you make your grocery list, and you have a mental block and can only remember about five recipes that you know. Well, I have this horrible habit of tearing out recipes from magazines and sticking them on top of my refrigerator. I decided to pull down my stack, to see what was there, and came across this fabulous recipe for pulled pork tacos. It was so easy, and we loved it so much, that I decided to share it here. I hope a few of you can use this one too!

Pulled Pork Tacos
2 to 2 1/2 pounds boneless pork shoulder
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 cup apricot jam or preserves
2 jalapenos, sliced into rings and seeded
1 red onion, roughly chopped
8 small flour or corn tortillas, warmed
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 lime, cut into wedges

Heat oven to 300 degrees. Place 2 large sheets of aluminum foil on a work surface, one atop the other. Place the pork in the center of the foil and season on all sides with the salt, pepper, and cumin. Spoon the jam over the pork, tuning to coat. Scatter the jalapenos and onion around the pork. Fold the double layer of foil around the pork and crimp the edges to seal tightly. Place in a baking dish. Roast until fork-tender, about 4 hours; let cool. Unwrap the pork, reserving the juices and discarding the foil. Use a fork to shred the pork. Transfer to a bowl. Pour the cooking juices, onion, and jalapenos over the pork and toss. Serve with the tortillas, cilantro, and lime wedges.

(Yummy! My mouth is watering just writing this.)
