    1 clove garlic finely minced or crushed

    Very Good
    This was really good! The pork was falling apart after 6 hours, tender & still juicy. I love the sauce! I will be making this again. - 5/5/14

    Incredible!
    This is super yummy and so easy to make! I've made it twice so far. The pork was very easy to shred, it was practically falling apart by itself. I loved it exactly how the recipe is written. Absolutely awesome! - 7/14/13
