Steps:
- FOR THE ROAST: Using sharp knife, cut slits 1 inch apart in crosshatch pattern in fat cap of roast, being careful not to cut into meat. Combine salt and brown sugar in medium bowl. Rub salt mixture over entire pork shoulder and into slits. Wrap roast tightly in double layer of plastic wrap, place on rimmed baking sheet, and refrigerate at least 12 and up to 24 hours.
- Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 325 degrees. Unwrap roast and brush off any excess salt mixture from surface. Season roast with pepper. Transfer roast to V-rack coated with nonstick cooking spray set in large roasting pan and add 1 quart water to roasting pan. (Monitor during cooking and add more water if needed to keep fond from burning.).
- Cook roast, basting twice during cooking, until meat is extremely tender and instant-read thermometer inserted into roast near but not touching bone registers 190 degrees, 5 to 6 hours. Transfer roast to carving board and let rest, loosely tented with foil, 1 hour. Transfer liquid in roasting pan to fat separator and let stand 5 minutes. Pour off 1/4 cup jus; discard fat and reserve remaining jus for another use.
- FOR THE SAUCE: Bring peaches, wine, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup vinegar, 1/4 cup defatted jus, and thyme to simmer in small saucepan; cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 2 cups, about 30 minutes. Stir in remaining tablespoon vinegar and mustard. Remove thyme, cover, and keep warm.

Steps:
- Put a large ovenproof Dutch oven, without the lid, into the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, rub the pork all over with 2 tablespoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.
- Once the oven is preheated, carefully remove the Dutch oven and add the pork to it fat-side down. Roast until golden all over, 45 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F and flip the pork so it is fat-side up. Continue to roast until the internal temperature is about 175 degrees F, about 3 hours. Cover the pot with the lid and continue to cook until the internal temperature is 195 to 200 degrees F, about another 30 minutes. Remove the pot from the oven, uncover and let rest until the meat is cool enough to handle, about 30 minutes.
- Transfer the pork to a cutting board. Skim off the fat from the liquid at the bottom of the pot with a spoon or ladle and discard it. Reserve the liquid for re-warming the meat.
- Pull the meat from the bone and discard it. The part of the meat that was in the bottom of the pot and cooks in the liquid is perfect for shredding with two forks. The top part that roasts for most of the cooking time should be sliced in to 1/2-inch pieces for browning in other recipes Refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 5 days.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
- In a food processor, combine the peppercorns, garlic, and cloves and puree. While the motor is running, drizzle in the oil until a paste is formed. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the garlic paste into a small bowl.
- Place the pork butt on a work surface and season all over generously with salt. Rub all over with the garlic paste. Place in an oven-safe roasting bag and close with a twist tie. Place in a large roasting pan, and cook until tender, about 5 hours.
- Remove roast from the oven. Slip the oven-roasting bag off the meat and discard. Transfer the cooking liquid to a medium saucepan. Skim the fat from the cooking liquid with a ladle or de-greaser. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer to thicken the juices slightly.
- Raise the oven to 400 degrees F. Return the pork, in the roasting pan, to the oven. Continue roasting, basting frequently with the simmering cooking liquid, until well-browned, about 30 minutes. If there is any cooking liquid left, pour it over the pork.
- Remove pork from the oven and let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. With the pork drippings you may make a vinegar sauce using this formula: for every 1/2 cup of drippings, whisk with 3 tablespoons vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Either carve the pork into thin slices, or, using 2 forks, pull into small pieces. Serve with the vinegar sauce on the side.

Steps:
- Mix together herbs, garlic, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon sea salt and crushed peppercorns.
- Untie the pork if rolled. In a large bowl, thoroughly dissolve 1/2 cup salt and 1/2 cup brown sugar in 2 quarts of cold water. Add bay leaves and 2 tablespoons of herb mixture. Place pork in a container or strong sealable bag and add this brine to completely cover. Cover or seal well and chill for from 8 hours to overnight.
- Remove the pork from the brine (discard the brine) and dry thoroughly. Cover with the remaining herb mixture, patting it in all over, then use kitchen twine to roll up pork and secure it tightly.
- Heat the oven to 225 degrees. Prepare a triple layer of aluminum foil large enough to comfortably enclose the pork. Put the rolled pork on the foil, skin/fatty side up. Gather the foil, scrunching it over to form a loose but well-sealed parcel. Place in a roasting pan in the oven. Take the first check for the internal temperature after 8 hours. For very tender meat that can be sliced, it should be 160 degrees and will probably take 10 hours. Check more often if needed. For a "pulled pork" consistency, the internal temperature should be 200 degrees and it will take about 12 hours.
- Rest the meat 20 minutes before unwrapping completely. Warm the applesauce and the rolls. Slice the pork not too thin (removing the twine as you go) and put in the sliced rolls with some of the cooking juices and lots of applesauce.

Transfer roast to carving board and let rest, loosely tented with foil, 1 hour. Transfer liquid in roasting pan to fat separator and let stand 5 minutes. Pour off ¼ cup jus; discard fat and reserve remaining jus for another use. 4. FOR THE SAUCE: Bring cherries, wine, granulated sugar, ¼ cup vinegar, ¼ cup defatted jus, and ruby port to simmer in small saucepan; cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 30 minutes. Stir in remaining tablespoon vinegar. Cover and keep warm. 5. Using sharp paring knife, cut around inverted T-shaped bone until it can be pulled free from roast (use clean kitchen towel to grasp bone). Using serrated knife, slice roast. Serve, passing sauce separately. Technique The Importance of Taking Things Slow For super-tender meat and a deeply browned crust, our roast pork shoulder takes time-about 24 hours total-but the results are worth the wait. OVERNIGHT SALTY-SWEET RUB We rub our roast with a mixture of salt and sugar and let it rest overnight. The salt enhances juiciness and seasons the meat throughout, while the sugar caramelizes to create a crackling-crisp, salty-sweet crust. LOW OVEN Just like in a pot roast, cooking the pork low and slow (325 degrees for 5 to 6 hours) pushes the meat well beyond its "done" mark into the 190-degree range, encouraging intramuscular fat to melt, collagen to break down and tenderize the meat, and the fat cap to render and crisp.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix the treacle, cider vinegar, paprika, cumin, mustard powder and chilli powder until smooth. Using a sharp knife, make deep slashes in the skin of the pork shoulder to cut through the skin and fat layer, but not the meat. Place the joint, skin-side down, in a large dish and rub the spice paste into the meat (not the fat). Turn skin-side, cover tightly with cling film and put in the fridge overnight, or for 24 hrs to give the pork maximum flavour.
- Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Transfer the pork, skin-side up, to a deep roasting tin, rub 1 tbsp sea salt onto the skin and pour 500ml water into the bottom of the roasting tin. Cover tightly with foil and roast in the oven for 5 hrs.
- Remove the foil, turn up the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and cook for a further 1 hr 30 mins or until the pork is very tender and the skin has turned to crispy crackling.
- Once the pork is ready, take it out of the roasting tin, cover with foil and leave to rest. Pour the juices from the roasting tin into a jug and leave to separate. Pour off the fat layer and transfer the remaining juices to a large sauté pan. Simmer over a high heat, stirring, until reduced to a rich gravy.
- Once rested, cut the pork into pieces - it should pull apart with very little effort - and break the crackling into shards. Serve the pork and crackling with the gravy poured over and mustard mash, honey-roasted carrots and quick pickled red cabbage on the side (see goes well with below).

Steps:
- Mix garlic, oil, vinegar, sazon, adobo, pepper, and oregano together to form a paste.
- Cut a wide pocket at the large end of the roast to separate skin from the fat, leaving skin attached at the sides and stopping before roast narrows to bone. Make 1-inch deep slits under the skin and on all meaty sides, twisting the knife to widen the openings.
- Stuff the garlic paste into the slits and rub all over the meat. Transfer to a large zip-top bag or ceramic or glass bowl, cover, and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Remove roast from the refrigerator. Place the roast in a pan on a rack, fat-side up. Cover with foil.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and remove foil. Continue to roast until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 175 degrees F (79 degrees C), about 4 hours more.
- Let meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: A pork shoulder is the best cut for this recipe, as it is well-marbled and will become tender and flavorful when cooked slowly.
- Season the pork well: Rub the pork shoulder with a generous amount of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to create a flavorful crust and keep the pork moist during cooking.
- Sear the pork before roasting: Searing the pork shoulder in a hot pan before roasting will help to develop a nice crust and lock in the juices.
- Use a flavorful liquid: The pork shoulder can be roasted in a variety of liquids, such as water, broth, or apple cider. Choose a liquid that will complement the flavors of the pork and the peach sauce.
- Cook the pork shoulder until it is fall-apart tender: The pork shoulder should be cooked until it is fall-apart tender, which will take about 6-8 hours. Check the pork shoulder regularly to make sure that it is not drying out.
- Make the peach sauce while the pork is roasting: The peach sauce can be made while the pork is roasting, so that it is ready to serve when the pork is done.
- Serve the pork shoulder with the peach sauce: The pork shoulder can be served with the peach sauce spooned over top, or on the side. Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
Conclusion:
Slow-roasted pork shoulder with peach sauce is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The pork shoulder is cooked until it is fall-apart tender and the peach sauce is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
