Blend with an immersion blender or in a countertop blender, then season to taste with salt, about 1 ½ teaspoons. Return pork to the sauce and stir gently to combine. Serve immediately OR better yet, cool and place in 6 quart container with lid and keep in refrigerator for up to 3 days, at least overnight. Reheat over medium heat on stovetop and enjoy.
