Steps:

• Drain all but about 1 Tbsp of the oil from the pot and reduce heat to medium. Add onions to the pot, and cook until onion is translucent, adding a bit more oil if necessary. Add garlic, cumin, oregano, and cinnamon and cook 1 minute longer. Add about 1/4c of the broth and stir to scrape up any browned bits that have stuck to the bottom of the pot.

• Remove pork from the sauce and shred, discarding any fatty bits. Working in batches, puree the sauce and transfer to a large bowl, adding cilantro, lime juice and the remaining 1-2 jalapenos to one of the batches (depending on how spicy you'd like it). After all the batches have been pureed, stir well to combine. (I ended up with almost 3 quarts of salsa)
