PLACE pork slices in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish.

POUR mixture over pork slices, TURNING slices to coat.

4.

COVER; REFRIGERATE at least eight hours, TURNING slices occasionally.

5.

BAKE, covered, 325 F for one hour (*see note)

6.

UNCOVER; BAKE another 1 to 1 1/2 hours; SPOON marinade over slice occasionally.

7.

COOL to room temperature; SHRED meat with fingers; RETURN to baking dish.

8.

BAKE at 350 F until most of water is absorbed and meat is saucy, about 30 minutes.
