1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 Tablespoons cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 Tablespoon liquid smoke
1 can (6 ounces) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
6 ounces American Premium Blends Michigan Tart Cherry concentrate

  1. Place pork in 4-quart Dutch oven. Add enough water to cover pork. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer about 1 hour 30 minutes or until tender.

Remove from heat; stir in lemonade and American Premium Blends Michigan Tart Cherry concentrates. Set aside.
