Last week, we celebrated several of Fall’s best flavors with Homespun‘s Poached Pear & Butternut Squash Salad. But why stop there? Our dream fall spread deserves a meat entrée to write home about. So this week, we handed over the reigns to Chef Jason again, this time to bring us his Bourbon Honey Braised Pork Shoulder.
This is one of those wonderful excuses to pull out your trusty Dutch oven; you’ll be slow-cooking this pork shoulder tender for a couple of hours, but as you’ll see, the fruits of your labor will be worth it.
Upon browning the pork, your sautéed garlic and onions will meet the smooth honey, brown sugar, sherry vinegar and bourbon reduction. And by introducing a blend of rich aromatics (thyme sprigs, black peppercorns and whole coriander seeds) to the pot, the macerated pork will be simply teeming with flavor. My favorite part? This meat entrée pairs so so so perfectly with seasonal roasted fruits such as figs, pears, apples, plums and onions. And just you wait until we share Chef Jason‘s recipe for those broccolini bundles! Cheers, Kat
Well so much for my mostly-vegetarianism. I think I found my next Sunday dinner.
Right? Such a perfect Sunday night dish! xo
Looks delicious!!!! Where did you get the wooden rimmed plates?
Hi Kimberly, you can actually get them in my shop! Email our Shop Boss Brit at shopboss@waitingonmartha.com for details and pricing. They’re vintage though and beyond amazing, you definitely need a set! xo MKR
