Slow Coking

In my local paper, I came across an article on slow cooking. The article stated that it’s a lost art that is coming back because it’s easy to prepare beforehand. It just needs to be started before one leaves for work; and when one returns from work, dinner is ready. Well, I tried slow cooking. The day before I needed to start cooking, I made a marinade. It only took 10 minutes to make, and I put it in with a pork shoulder in the refrigerator. The next day, early in the morning, I put the whole mixture into a slow cooker for it to cook for 10 hours. The smell permeated the whole house. When my son got home from school, he kept asking me when we were going to eat. I told him it would be a few hours and asked him why. He said, “It smells so good.” It did smell good; and when we ate it, it was wonderful. The pork shoulder was very tender and juicy. My wife looked up other recipes that I could slow cook. I’ll try those recipes later, and I’m sure I’ll blog about that later, but here’s the recipe I used. Enjoy.
