Pork Shoulder and Friends..........

Last night we had some friends from church over Aaron & Marissa and their little boy Gabe. Our girls loved playing with Gabe, he is a real Socializer and enjoyed all the attention they gave him. We were gathered for the consumption of a Pork Shoulder. Although many of you have never consumed such a cut of pork, I urge you to try it some day. I have found that in Ohio not many people know of the potential of this roast and thus you often find it on clearance in the grocery store. In North Carolina were I was first introduced to this side of the pig you would be lucky to find a roast for $15, here however I usually am able to snag a clearance sale roast for $5.

We had a wonderful time with our new friends and even enjoyed some cherry cobbler that Marissa made. It was a good time full of food and conversation.

Pork Shoulder

Boil a covered pork shoulder roast on stove top for 2 hours on Medium Heat

Then in a slow cooker (crock pot) place roast inside and fill with Caribbean Jerk Sauce

Slow cook for 3 hours on Low

This is the best way I have found to prepare a good pork shoulder, unfortunately I did not have the time required so I had to bake it in the oven on 200 degrees for an hour. The result is ok but not the way a slow cooked roast can be.
