This is a go-to recipe during the winter.  It is so easy.  The prep time is quick, and requires few ingredients.  Slow roasting takes a few hours.  However, the result is pork with meat so moist, that it falls off the bone.  My family's favorite part is the crackly, crisp skin.  When I make this dish, I often roast two pork shoulders.  I save the second one for pulled pork sandwiches.

When purchasing a pork picnic shoulder, look for one that still has the skin on.  the poor skin, specifically, the fat under the skin that bastes the meat while it cooks and keeps it from drying out.
