I haven’t met very many people that don’t love pulled pork. There are things tastier than pairing the delicious meaty flavor of pulled pork with a sweet and sour barbecue sauce and a cool and crunchy coleslaw. Pulled pork begins most often with the pork shoulder. This cut lends well to long and slow cooking, as the natural fats in the pork shoulder bastes and tenderizes as it cooks, resulting in succulent and flavorful meat. Pork shoulder can also be roasted or ground for sausages. The flavor and fat content of the pork shoulder makes for a multipurpose cut that can shine in a variety of dishes. The following recipes will provide some inspiration and practical tips to best prepare and cook a pork shoulder.


1. Slow Roasted Pork Shoulder with Savory Apple Gravy {Gluten Free}

This slow roasted pork shoulder recipe by Elise at Simply Recipes is perfect for a cold winter day!  Hefty pork shoulder is slathered with a rub of fennel seeds, pepper, thyme, rosemary and garlic, marinated for a day or two and nestled in a bed of sliced apples and onions.
