2. Pour the rest of the cola, along with the remaining ingredients, into a small saucepan. Whisk together and cook over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until reduced by about one-third (you should have about 1½ cups). Set aside
3. Transfer the cooked pork to a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the meat by pulling it apart, and set aside. Drain the liquid from the slow cooker, reserving ½ cup. Return the pork and reserved liquid back to the slow cooker
