Roasted Pork Shoulder with Pomegranate Sauce image

Just created this tonight and it's definitely a keeper! The Hubby and I can't wait to try it again, next time on the grill; the smoky flavors imparted by cooking over the coals will complement the sauce nicely. It's a lovely way to serve an otherwise inexpensive piece of meat.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (3 pound) bone-in pork shoulder roast
2 teaspoons minced garlic
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 pomegranates with the seeds removed
½ cup water
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Season the pork roast with garlic, kosher salt and pepper. Place in a roasting pan.
  • Bake the roast for 1hour in the preheated oven. While the roast is baking, combine the pomegranate seeds and water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, until the pomegranate seeds have broken down and released their juices. Press through a strainer to get as much juice as possible. You should have about 3/4 cup of juice.
  • Pour the juice from the pomegranate into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer over medium heat until reduced by half. Remove from the heat and mix in the balsamic vinegar, sugar and cinnamon.
  • After the roast has been in the oven for 1 hour, start to baste it with the pomegranate sauce, using a brush to apply to the top and sides. Continue to roast the pork until the internal temperature has reached 180 degrees F (80 degrees C). Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 20 minutes before carving and serving.

I'm allergic to pomegranate seeds, so I used a different type of fruit in the sauce. I used cranberries and it was still delicious.

I added some chopped carrots and celery to the dish and it was a great addition. I would recommend adding some vegetables to the dish next time you make it.

I used a different type of pork shoulder than the recipe called for and it turned out fine. I think you could use any type of pork shoulder and it would be good.

This dish was a little too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less sugar in the sauce next time.
