Steps:
- 1. Combine all your spices, set aside. Trim excess fat from the pork leaving a nice layer on the top of the roast for self basting while in the oven.
- 2. Rub your spice blend all over the roast; cover with saran wrap and refrigerate overnight, or at least 12 hours.
- 3. Slice onion into thick slices and put in the bottom of your pan, along with stalks (including leaves) of celery.
- 4. Place in preheated 325 degree oven and cover roaster with lid, or with aluminum foil.
- 5. Roast for 8 to 9 hours. Check for doneness with meat thermometer. When pork reached 200 degrees I basted with barbecue sauce and returned to oven without lid for about 30 more minutes (or until you have a nice browned finish on the roast.)
- 6. You can serve slices at this point, or shred the pork to get pulled pork. Add sauce of your choice and enjoy in slices or on buns.
BEST ROAST PORK I'VE EVER EATEN
This really is the best pork roast I've ever eaten. I use fresh rosemary from my herb garden but dried will work. Even though the Marsala is optional, it's just not the same without it, in my opinion.

FALL-APART-TENDER SLOW-ROAST PORK BUTT
Pork butt is a less-expensive cut, but cooking at a very low temperature ensures a tender, juicy roast, and it dissolves fat and connective tissue, This can also be made in a slow cooker set on high for 30 minutes, then turned down to low for the day, oven cooking time will vary depending on the size of your roast -- I have made this in the past, and it is very good! :)

Steps:
- Make small slits all over the roast then insert a whole garlic clove into each slit (this is only optional).
- Place the roast in a greased casserole dish with a lid.
- Sprinkle the roast on all sides with Worcestershire sauce.
- Let sit at room temperature for 1-1/2 hours.
- After 1-1/2 hours spoon any Worcestershire sauce (if any) back on the roast that has accumulated on the bottom of the casserole.
- Using hands press the brown sugar well into the meat on all sides making certain to adhear the sugar to the meat.
- Pour the apple juice into the bottom of the casserole.
- Cover tightly.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F for 15 minutes.
- Place the roast in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature down to 200 degrees F.
- Roast for about 4 hours or until the meat is falling-apart tender (cooking time will vary depending on the size of the roast).
- Stir the salt and black pepper into the juice (do not omit the salt!).
- Slice meat as desired.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Cut of Pork: Select a pork butt, also known as pork shoulder, with good marbling for maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Proper Seasoning: Create a flavorful rub using spices like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and salt. You can also add a touch of brown sugar for a hint of sweetness.
- Sear the Pork: Before roasting, sear the pork butt in a hot skillet to create a crispy outer layer that locks in the juices.
- Slow and Steady Roasting: Roast the pork butt at a low temperature (275°F) for several hours, allowing the connective tissues to break down and the meat to become fall-apart tender.
- Add Aromatics: Enhance the flavor of the pork by adding aromatics like onions, carrots, and celery to the roasting pan.
- Baste Regularly: Baste the pork butt every 30 minutes or so with its own juices or a mixture of broth and apple cider vinegar to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: Ensure the pork is cooked to perfection by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. The internal temperature should reach 195°F (90°C) for pulled pork or 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare roast pork.
- Let it Rest: After roasting, let the pork butt rest for at least 30 minutes before pulling or slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.
Conclusion:
With careful preparation, proper seasoning, and slow roasting, you can create a succulent and tender oven-roasted pork butt that will impress your family and friends. Whether you prefer pulled pork for sandwiches or a juicy roast for a special occasion, this versatile cut of meat offers endless possibilities. Experiment with different rubs, marinades, and cooking techniques to discover your favorite way to enjoy this delicious and affordable dish.
