   In a Dutch oven, heat oil and brown roast on all sides.

3. 3

   Remove Dutch oven from heat.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together all other ingredients and pour over the roast; it should cover it almost to the top.

   Place the lid on the Dutch oven and place it in the preheated oven.

6. 6

   Let simmer for 56 hours.

7. 7

   Remove from heat and place meat on a cutting board, allow to cool, reserving the braising liquid.

   With forks or your hands, shred the meat and place in a storage container.

   Pour in enough reserved braising liquid to almost cover the shredded pork.

    Note: For diabetics or those counting calories, you can do this recipe with Coke Zero and Truvia.

    I would cut back the Truvia to 1.5 cups.
