If needed, cut pork in half crosswise to fit inside the cooker. Add the pork to the sauce in the cooker; stir to coat. Cover and cook, flipping once, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 145°F, 2 hours to 2 hours, 30 minutes on High or 3 to 4 hours on Low. Transfer the pork to a plate; cover with foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, use an immersion blender to puree the sauce in the slow cooker until smooth, about 1 minute. (Use caution when blending hot liquids.) Slice the pork into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Pour half of the sauce (about 2 cups) over the pork before serving. (Save any remaining sauce for another use.) To make ahead Refrigerate sauce in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
