Ingredients

3 lbs pork shoulder
1/2 cup apple cider
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp fresh rosemary
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F. Trim excess fat from pork shoulder and rub with 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 2 minced garlic cloves.
Step 2: Place pork in a roasting pan, nestling 1 tbsp chopped rosemary around it. Pour 1/2 cup apple cider into the pan, ensuring it pools around the meat but doesn't submerge it.
Step 3: Cover pan tightly with foil and roast for 3 hours, until internal temperature reaches 195°F and meat pulls apart easily with a fork. Remove foil for the last 20 minutes to crisp the surface.
