**Pork shoulder**, also known as pork butt or Boston butt, is a flavorful and versatile cut of meat that is perfect for slow-cooking methods like roasting. This cut comes from the upper shoulder of the pig and is known for its rich marbling, which results in tender and juicy meat when cooked properly.
In this article, we'll share two delicious recipes for cooking pork shoulder on a rotisserie: a classic **garlic and herb-roasted pork shoulder** and a **savory Mexican-style pork shoulder**. Both recipes are easy to follow and yield mouthwatering results that are perfect for any occasion.
**Garlic and Herb-Roasted Pork Shoulder:**
This classic recipe combines the aromatic flavors of garlic and herbs to create a tantalizing dish. The pork shoulder is marinated in a mixture of garlic, thyme, rosemary, and olive oil, then cooked on a rotisserie until fall-apart tender. Serve with roasted vegetables and potatoes for a complete meal.
**Mexican-Style Pork Shoulder:**
This flavorful recipe infuses the pork shoulder with a blend of Mexican spices and citrus. The pork is marinated in a mixture of chili powder, cumin, oregano, garlic, orange juice, and lime juice, then cooked on a rotisserie until tender and juicy. Serve with warm tortillas, salsa, and guacamole for an authentic Mexican feast.
ROTISSERIE HEAVENLY PORK SHOULDER
I was at the local grocery store and had an idea of trying a pork shoulder on my electric Black Angus Rotisserie from 1950 that I permanently borrowed from my mom, since she was not putting it to use! I use this rotisserie all the time! From chicken, beef, pork and even fish! Have to keep a close eye on the last one!

PORK SHOULDER ON A ROTISSERIE
I have a Black Angus Rotisserie that I have permanently borrowed from my mom since she was not using it. Once you use one of these babies, you will wonder why you have not tried it for larger cuts of meat or anything for that matter that can be tied to the spit.

Steps:
- Finely grind peppercorns, juniper berries, and coriander seeds in spice mill or with mortar and pestle; transfer to a small bowl and mix in salt and sugar.
- Set blade on a box cutter to about 1/3" (or use a very sharp paring knife or X-Acto knife) and cut long parallel lines into the skin of pork shoulder, spacing about 3/4" apart. You want to cut completely through the fat, getting as close to the meat as possible without slicing into it. Then, using a pair of kitchen shears, snip between rows to create a diamond-shape pattern, spacing about 3/4" apart. Cutting a crosshatch design into the fat will help it cook out and allow the salt and spices to penetrate the meat.
- Rub entire shoulder with spice mixture, covering any exposed meat and pushing into cuts in fat. Try to get the spices into the fatty layer and not on the surface of the skin, where they may burn as the shoulder roasts. Make sure to use all of the spices, even though it may seem like a lot. Wrap shoulder tightly with plastic and chill at least 3 hours and up to 3 days.
- Place a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 225°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with 2 layers of heavy-duty foil (be generous with the foil unless you really enjoy scrubbing pots and pans after Thanksgiving dinner). Place rosemary sprigs and garlic in the center of baking sheet and set a wire rack on top. Set pork shoulder on rack and transfer to oven. Pour wine and 2 cups water into baking sheet and roast shoulder until meat is pulling away from the bone and skin is very dark, 9-10 hours (overnight is great).
- Let pork shoulder sit uncovered at room temperature until ready to serve (at least 30 minutes and up to 5 hours).
- Just before serving, reheat roast in a 350°F-400°F oven to soften fat and warm the surface of the roast (but don't let it take on any more color), 5-10 minutes.
- Serve warm with cranberry sauce, cornichons, and mustard.
ROASTED PORK SHOULDER
This is my favorite way to cook a pork shoulder roast. Very tender and delicious! This recipe came from the "Paula Deen Cooking Show" (Food Network). I've changed the prep procedure to make it easier and reduced the sprinkled on salt mixture to 1/4 of the original amount called for in the print-out version of the recipe (Think it was posted wrong!) ENJOY!!!
