Pork Shoulder

Berkshire Pork is probably the best pork in the counrty. Its tenderness is unmatched and its flavor is so intense that there is really no other comparison to it. In my most recent dish I have made for you a berkshire pork shoulder confit with butternutt squash gnocchi, fennel puree & carmelized apple choucroute. I brined the pork in an apple cider brine for 24 hours. Then I cook it in duck fat for 4 hours in an oven set at 250 degrees. It falls apart in your mouth, and the fortified pork stock that I serve it with is a well suited accompaniment and is amazing to dip the gnocchi in.
