Picnic Pork Shoulder, Raw

Picnic Pork Shoulder, Raw

EverydayRaw

Picnic pork shoulder is a primal cut from the pig’s lower shoulder and upper front leg, characterized by its rich marbling and significant connective tissue. This moderately tough cut becomes tender through slow-cooking methods like braising or smoking, which break down collagen into gelatin. While slightly leaner than Boston butt (the upper shoulder cut), it remains a flavorful, protein-rich option often used for pulled pork, stews, and charcuterie preparations.
