Caramelized Carnitas

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I made as diner for my Husband and his friend, and it was really good.. a lit bit sweet. I added slice white onions while the sauce was caramelizing. I think i'll either take out next time either the sugar or the molasses, Cause combined it's a bit much.
    Still good... I'm thinking may be you could add a little jalapeño or something to make it spicy at the same time.
