\ud83c\udf84 A holiday roast, not a barbecue<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Let’s clear something up right away: this is not barbecue. Nothing gets smoked, nothing gets shredded into a bun. This is the refined version of a pork shoulder<\/strong>, the one that lands in the middle of the table when there’s company, and it happens to show up right when clementines hit the stores in November.<\/p>\n

Three and a half hours in the oven. The whole house smells like cider and citrus.<\/p>\n

No clementines? Oranges do the job.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc16 Ask for a picnic pork shoulder<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At the counter, ask for a picnic pork shoulder<\/strong>, sometimes labelled picnic roast. It sits right next to the Boston butt and the two are not the same piece. The butt is the upper part, fattier and more marbled, and that’s the one most smoking recipes call for. The picnic is the lower part, down toward the front leg, and that’s what I use here: boneless, rind off, most of the fat trimmed away. Most, not all. What’s left is where the flavor lives. Same cut as my beer-braised pulled pork<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf4f Apple cider braised pork shoulder, and what to do with that sauce<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Two cans of cider, the juice and zest of five clementines, Dijon, garlic, rosemary and thyme. That’s the whole braising liquid, and after three and a half hours under a lid it turns into something sweet, sharp and glossy. Don’t waste it. A green salad on the side, or mashed potatoes<\/a> to catch every last spoonful. That’s the whole meal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
