Boston Butt

It is patently obvious that we are into the winter CSA. In the first week, we received a 5 lb Boston Butt.  This week, we received a whole free-range chicken, 1 1/2 lbs chorizo and 1 lb of ground beef.  We definitely get our money's worth with all the meat that we receive in the winter.  I used my crockpot to roast my Boston Butt this past week and have been using the pulled pork to make sandwiches, etc all week.  Roasting in a crockpot is so easy:

Slow-cooker Roast Boston Butt
  • 1 5lb bone-in Boston Butt (also known as pork shoulder)*
  • salt & pepper, to taste
Season roast with salt and pepper to taste.  Place in crock of your slow-cooker and cook on LOW 8-10 hours.  The meat should easily fall apart with a fork.  Remove crock from slow cooker and allow to cool until the roast can be handled with bare hands.  Using two forks, pull the meat apart.  

Some ideas for using your pulled pork include making bbq sandwhiches, making a pork ragu with your favorite tomato sauce, pork omelets, the list could go on and on.  I made bbq pork sandwiches using a barbeque sauce that we received during the summer CSA from Clark Pope catering company.  But you can use your favorite sauce or make one from scratch!
