Categories     Pork     Apple

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 5-6-lb boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt)
2 tbsp kosher salt plus more
Freshly ground black pepper
1 lb shallots (about 9 large)
12 garlic cloves (about 1 large head)
2 apples, peeled, quartered, cored
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups apple cider, preferably fresh
1 12-oz bottle strong ginger beer (such as Reed's)
3 sprigs rosemary

Steps:

  • Season pork shoulder with 2 tbsp salt and pepper. Using kitchen twine, tie pork at 1/2" intervals, forming a compact cylinder. Let stand at room temperature for 2 hours, or cover and chill overnight. If chilled, let pork stand at room temperature for 2 hours before continuing. Preheat over to 300°. Place pork in a large heavy ovenproof pot with a tight-fitting lid; arrange shallots, garlic, and apples around pork. Add broth, cider, and ginger beer. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, and transfer to oven. Braise pork until a knife slides easily through meat, 4-5 hours. Let meat cool in braising liquid, then refrigerate until cold (the meat will slice more easily when cold). (Can be braised 3 days ahead. Cover and keep chilled.) Preheat oven to 350°. Using tongs, transfer pork to a cutting board. Strain braising liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl; discard fat and solids. Slice pork between kitchen twine and place in a large roasting pan. Carefully remove twine, leaving slices intact. Pour enough braising liquid into pan to cover pork halfway (1 1/2 - 2 cups) and arrange rosemary over. Cover tightly with foil. Bake until pork is just heated through, 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, pour remaining braising liquid from bowl into a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil sauce until reduced to 2 cups, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer sliced pork to a platter (discard any liquid in pan) an drizzle some of the sauce over. Service remaining sauce alongside.
