  6. Put the pork back in and pour in enough water to cover (you can salt the water now or after the pork is cooked). If you have a pressure cooker, cook according to manufacturer's directions for an hour or two. If not, boil that pig for more than three hours. Put the meat into a side plate to cool down a bit. Separate the fat from it. Bring to a low simmer.
