Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (235 degrees C). Use a small paring knife to make 6 to 8 slits in the pork. Press a garlic clove into each cut.

- Add 3/4 cup water and scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Cover with foil.
- Return to the oven to bake until fork tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Let pork stand for 20 minutes before shredding.
- Meanwhile, for the sauce, combine ketchup, tomato sauce, white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, white sugar, salt, pepper, and hot sauce in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer, stirring often. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.
