Place lemon juice, orange juice, vinegar, garlic, jalapeno, allspice, pepper and cloves in a blender; blend until combined. Set lemon juice mixture aside. Sprinkle pork with salt.

Bake, covered, for 2 hours or until pork is fork tender.
Transfer pork to a cutting board, reserving broth mixture. When cool enough to handle, use two forks to shred pork.
Transfer pork to a serving dish and cover with foil; set aside.
To prepare sauce, pour broth mixture into a small non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
