Calling all Chefs

[dewarsrocks]

I have a Petite Jean Ham pork shoulder to cook tomorrow. I've never cooked one before so I'm looking for some guidance on the best way to cook it.

It's around 7 1/2 pounds.

For the uninformed Petite Jean is a local Arkansas meat company that is incredibly good with ham, bacon, turkey, etc. Petite Jean meats are very good.

Re: Calling all Chefs

Yeah, low and slow in some form, be it smoker, braising or what have you. I'd go braise.

Google "schweinsbraten" for the German preparation. It's sehr gut.
