COOK'S WISDOM
Pork can be prepared in a 325°F oven. Prepare pork through step 1 with fat side up in Dutch oven. Add 1/4 cup water. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake 4-1/2 to 5 hours or until internal temperature reaches 190°F. Transfer pork to large bowl. Pour liquid from Dutch oven into large bowl. Let stand 1 minute to allow fat to rise to top. Skim off 1 tablespoon fat to use instead of oil in step 3. Skim off and discard any remaining fat. Pour remaining liquid into 2- to 3-quart saucepan; heat to boiling over high heat. Boil 8 to 10 minutes or until reduced to about 1 cup. Pour liquid into sauce.
