I know, I know, its VERY brave of me to title this The Best Pork You’ll Ever Have, but I’m standing by it. Its SO flavorful and super juicy and just too good! The prep takes a little time and slow roasting is key here, but its a great dinner for the fam! So the next time you’re working from home or its a rainy day, make this pork – you won’t regret it!
Note: I marinated this pork overnight and it had the best flavor. I cannot guarantee the same if you don’t marinate it the same amount of time. I also used half a pork shoulder when I made this, but you could also use a pork roast or tenderloin. Again, I cannot guarantee the same results with a different cut of pork.
