1. In large saucepan, combine all shredded pork ingredients with enough water to cover pork. Cover; cook over medium-high heat until mixture comes to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium; cook 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until pork is fork-tender, stirring occasionally and adding water if needed.
2. Remove pork from liquid; reserve liquid. Strain cooked vegetables from cooking liquid; reserve vegetables and liquid. Cool pork for 15 minutes or until easy to handle. To shred pork, using 2 forks, pull pork apart along the grain of the meat.
