  7. Cover tightly with aluminium foil, poke a few holes and return to the oven.
  8. Braise for 2.5 hours until the pork is very tender.
  9. Place the meat on a plate and pour the pan juice (there will be plenty) into a saucepan.
  10. Add the sauce ingredients. Bring to a simmer until reduced by half and thick, about 20 minutes.
  11. Pull the pork apart into large shreds.
  12. Pour the sauce over the pulled pork and work through until fully absorbed.
