Old Cucumber Soup

• 6 cups Water, Plus 2 Cups For Blanching Pork Shoulder If Needed
• 1/2 pounds Pork Shoulder Bones
• 1 whole Old Cucumber, Deseeded And Cut Into 1-inch Slices
• 1 bulb Garlic, Peeled
• 2 Tablespoons Dried Oysters
• 2 Tablespoons Goji Berries (Kei Chi)
• 4 whole Red Dates (jujubes)
• 4 pieces Solomon's Seal (Yuk Chuk)
• 1 Tablespoon Salt

1. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Place pork shoulder bone pieces into hot water and let them sit for 15 minutes. Drain and use.
2. Place all the ingredients (including 6 cups water) in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer for 1 hour.
3. Note: If you are using a crockpot like me, bring the 6 cups water to a boil on the stove first. Pour water into the crockpot over all the other ingredients. Boil on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
4. Serve!
