I tasted this after completing step 4 and was so disappointed as there just didn't seem to be much flavor. I refrigerated the pork and then the next day reheated as directed. What a difference a day makes! The pork was then nicely flavored and so good! I squirted on a vinegar based sauce and topped with coleslaw for a very enjoyable meal.
