Pork Shoulder Roast

With a spice rub and a long baking time,
this fresh pork shoulder roast is as
good as it gets when it comes to pork.
There are many recipes, all good ones,
somes say high temp then slow and low.
I cooked this at 300 degrees F. for
the entire cooking time of 6 hours.
The important thing is that the
internal temp is about 170 degrees F.
Bake this covered until heated through
for about five hours and then un-covered
to get golden brown and crispy on top.

Ingredients:
1 (8 pound) fresh pork shoulder
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon course salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
dash of cayene pepper

Directions:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Wash pork shoulder and place
in a large roasting pan.
Make crosswise cuts in fat
about 1/8 inch deep.
Mix all spice ingredients
and rub all over pork shoulder.
Place in preheated oven and
let bake for about 6 hours
or until internal temperature
reaches 170 degrees F.
Remove from oven and cover,
let rest 20 minutes before serving
along with any pan drippings.
