jalapeño garlic pork shoulder
This is a tasty pork roast recipe that you can slice and serve it as a pork main dish, or you can shred the pork to make sliders or pulled-pork sandwiches. It’s quite easy to prepare, but it requires 6 hours of marinating time and 3 hours to bake, so you’ll want to plan accordingly. It’s a good marinade for chuck roasts, too. If you like pan juices, add about 2 cups of water to the bottom of the pan during the last hour of baking time, then use the au jus to spoon over individual servings when it's time to eat.
