3. Place the shoulder in slow cooker / casserole pot and apply spice rub all over the joint.

4. Cut oranges into quadrants and squeeze the juice into the pot, then throw quadrants around the pork. Add cola, bay leaves and crumble stock cube into the liquid.

5. If using slow cooker, cook the pork on low for 8-10 hours. If using oven, cook pork on 130c (fan) for 6-8 hours.
