Heavenly Pork
- 1 (6 lb) picnic pork shoulder
- 13 cup water
- sea salt, for rubbing on meat
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
- 14 cup white wine
- 1 tablespoon lemon curd
- 1 tablespoon orange marmalade
- 1 tablespoon mango jam
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar or 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- Rub the picnic shoulder top and bottom with salt and put in a crock pot with 1/3 cup water and slow cook until it's spoon-tender.
- The last pork shoulder I did this with was about 6 pounds and I cooked it on high for 12 hours.
- Let cool until handleable.
- Drain the broth off the meat and reserve.
- Remove the skin and the fat off of the shoulder.
- I saved this and rendered it and made chicharron, but of course that's up to you.
- Remove the bones, shred the meat and place back in the crock pot.
- Add 1 Tablespoon sea salt, garlic, 5 spice, wine and pineapple crush or juice or jam blend and mix into the meat.
- Add some of the reserved pork broth back to the meat as well.
- The idea is to keep it nice and moist, not float it, so you'll have to judge the amount for yourself.
- *Jam Blend*.
- Use this instead of pineapple crush or juice if desired.
- 1 tablespoon lemon curd, 1 tablespoon orange marmalade, 1 tablespoon mango jam, 1 tablespoon cider or 1 tablespoon rice vinegar.
- Let meat slow-cook until you think the flavors have mingled enough, or you're ready for it and that's it!
- Use as you would shredded pork- on a roll, in burritos, tacos, tostadas, with scrambled eggs, etc, etc.
- Enjoy!
