Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality pork shoulder. Look for meat that is well-marbled and has a good amount of fat.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the pork shoulder. This will help the marinade penetrate the meat more deeply.
  • Be generous with the marinade. The longer the pork shoulder marinates, the more flavorful it will be. However, do not marinate the pork for more than 24 hours, as this can toughen the meat.
  • Cook the pork shoulder over low heat. This will help to render the fat and make the meat tender.
  • Baste the pork shoulder regularly with the marinade or a mixture of water and pineapple juice. This will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful.
  • Cook the pork shoulder until it is fork-tender. This will take about 2-3 hours.
  • Serve the pork shoulder with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or tortillas.
