For me, cooking is magic. It’s a perfect moment to get a pork shoulder on the bone and slow roast it in your oven. I’m not an Insta pot or slow cooker gal–my favorite tool for slow cooking is the oven. And I’m not criticizing anyone that is. I’m just saying that there is no substitute for the magic that happens in the oven with this unimaginably delicious pork shoulder which happens to be incredibly simple. The other day I shared my journey of making this, and so many of you were interested in the outcome, so: here it is, and it is quite simply perfection! You can’t cheat this process if you want crust like this. Join me in making it the old fashioned way and let me know what you think. Cooking is magic and it soothes the soul, so bring your people together and enjoy it as group.
