Consider braising it in wine, broth, or even apple cider for a delicious result.- Pork shoulder roasts are a fantastic option for a hearty and flavorful meal. Season it generously and roast it at a low temperature until it's fall-apart tender.- Many use this cut of meat for making ground pork for sausages or fillings. Because of its fat content, pork shoulder provides excellent flavor and moisture to ground pork dishes.- Pork shoulder can be cubed and used in stews and chili, adding depth of flavor and a satisfying meaty texture.

Pork shoulder should be stored properly to maintain its quality. If you plan to cook it within a few days, store it in the refrigerator at 40°F (4°C) or below. Wrap the pork tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out or absorbing odors from other foods. For longer storage, freezing is recommended. Wrap the pork shoulder in freezer-safe wrap or place it in a freezer bag, removing as much air as possible, and store it in the freezer for up to 6-12 months. Always thaw pork shoulder in the refrigerator, never at room temperature.
