Bone-in Pork Butt

Bone-in Pork Butt Roast 

Our Bone-in Pork Butt Roast, despite its name, actually comes from the upper part of the shoulder from the front leg. This name originates from colonial times when cuts like the shoulder were packed into barrels for storage and transport; these barrels were called "butts," hence the name. This larger cut, typically weighing 7-8 pounds, is renowned for its rich flavor and succulent texture. Ideal for low and slow cooking methods, either in the oven or on a smoker, the Bone-in Pork Butt Roast transforms into an incredibly tender and flavorful dish.

Cooking Tips:

1. Slow Oven Roasting: Roast at a low temperature in the oven for several hours until the meat easily pulls apart.
2. Smoking for Depth: Slowly smoke the roast to infuse it with a deep, rich, and smoky flavor, perfect for pulled pork dishes.
3. Braising for Tenderness: Braise in a flavorful liquid in a covered pot, allowing the meat to become exceptionally tender and moist.

Recipe Ideas:

1. Honey Glazed Pulled Pork: Slow cook the roast until tender, then shred. Mix in a homemade glaze of honey, Dijon mustard, and a touch of garlic. Serve on warm buns with a tangy coleslaw for an irresistible sandwich.
2. Spicy Chipotle Pork: Rub with a blend of chipotle chili powder, brown sugar, and smoked paprika. Smoke or slow cook until it falls apart. Shred and serve with warm tortillas and a fresh corn salsa for a spicy, mouth-watering taco night.
3. Apple and Bourbon Pork Roast: Marinate the roast in a mixture of apple cider, bourbon, and a hint of cinnamon. Slow cook until tender, then serve with roasted apples and onions for a sweet and savory experience that's perfect for autumn evenings.
4. Garlic and Herb Roast: Coat the roast in a rub of minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and a splash of olive oil. Slow cook until it’s meltingly tender. Carve and serve with roasted root vegetables for a hearty, comforting meal.
