Directions:Season pork shoulder with salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature for 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 300°. Place pork in a large heavy ovenproof pot with a tight-fitting lid; arrange shallots, garlic and apples around pork. Add broth, cider and ginger beer. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, and transfer to oven. Braise pork until a knife slides easily through meat, 4–5 hours. Let meat cool in braising liquid.
Preheat oven to 350°. Using tongs, transfer pork to a cutting board. Slice pork.
Strain braising liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl; discard fat and solids.
Pour braising liquid into pan to cover pork halfway (1 1/2–2 cups) and arrange rosemary over. Cover tightly with foil. Bake until pork is just heated through, 15–20 minutes
Pour remaining braising liquid from bowl into a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil sauce until reduced to 2 cups, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Transfer sliced pork to a platter (discard any liquid in pan) and drizzle some of sauce over. Serve remaining sauce alongside |
