Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
- In a food processor, combine the peppercorns, garlic, and cloves and puree. While the motor is running, drizzle in the oil until a paste is formed. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the garlic paste into a small bowl.
- Place the pork butt on a work surface and season all over generously with salt. Rub all over with the garlic paste. Place in an oven-safe roasting bag and close with a twist tie. Place in a large roasting pan, and cook until tender, about 5 hours.
- Remove roast from the oven. Slip the oven-roasting bag off the meat and discard. Transfer the cooking liquid to a medium saucepan. Skim the fat from the cooking liquid with a ladle or de-greaser. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer to thicken the juices slightly.
- Raise the oven to 400 degrees F. Return the pork, in the roasting pan, to the oven. Continue roasting, basting frequently with the simmering cooking liquid, until well-browned, about 30 minutes. If there is any cooking liquid left, pour it over the pork.
- Remove pork from the oven and let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. With the pork drippings you may make a vinegar sauce using this formula: for every 1/2 cup of drippings, whisk with 3 tablespoons vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Either carve the pork into thin slices, or, using 2 forks, pull into small pieces. Serve with the vinegar sauce on the side.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a pork shoulder that is at least 5 pounds. This will ensure that the meat is tender and juicy after cooking.
- Sear the pork shoulder on all sides before roasting. This will help to create a flavorful crust and prevent the meat from drying out.
- Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the pork shoulder. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cumin.
- Cook the pork shoulder on low heat for a long period of time. This will help to tenderize the meat and make it fall-apart tender.
- Make sure to let the pork shoulder rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help to keep the juices in the meat.
Conclusion:
Slow-roasted pork shoulder is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and tender pork shoulder that will be the star of your next meal.
