Ingredients
  • ½ cup kosher salt
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 4½ lbs boneless pork shoulder butt
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • ½ cup grainy mustard
  • Freshly ground pepper
Dipping sauce:
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • ½ cup reserved maple mustard
  • 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine salt and brown sugar. Rub mixture all over the pork, cover and refrigerate overnight.
  2. Preheat oven to 300 degree F.
  3. Wipe off the salt-sugar mixture from the pork with paper towels. Place the pork in a roasting pan. Set aside.
  4. In a bowl, combine together maple syrup, lemon juice, mustard and freshly ground pepper. Reserve ½ cup of the mixture for dipping sauce.
  5. Baste about ½ of the remaining maple-mustard mixture all over the pork. Roast in the oven for 6 hours or until meat is fork tender, basting the pork with the rest of the maple-mustard in the last hour of cooking.
Make the dipping sauce:
  1. Heat oil in a sauce pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent. Stir in ½ cup reserved maple-mustard sauce. Reduce heat and let simmer for a minute. Add butter and whisk until sauce is silky smooth. Season with freshly ground pepper.
  2. Tear and shred the pork into chunks and place on a serving platter. Serve as is with the dipping sauce or as a sandwich.
