Pork shoulder butt roast is cut from the top of the front shoulder of the pig. This cut consists of a number of muscles bound together with lots of connective tissue and intermuscular fat.
These large, heavily-used muscles require a low and slow cook to break down all the connective tissue and fat. We recommend cooking your pork shoulder to around 200° to reach "fall off the bone" tenderness. You can do this by braising, slow roasting, or smoking.
Each Red House Ranch Pork Shoulder Butt Roast weighs around 3 lbs.
