Supper Tonight: I have a 6+ pound, half pic nic (smoked pork sholder) to cook.....I dont think I have ever cooked one....the tips I have found say it can be oven baked with a glaze, or cooked in a little water....there are warnings about overcooking causing it to dry out. Has anyone any tips for me. I am planning to make brocoli with a cheese sauce (Velveta ) and potatoes to go with it. If you have any advise on the pic nic "ham", I would welcome them. I am inclined just to put it in dutch oven with a little water and an onion; but that sounds too bland or simple.
Elston, I cook mine in a dutch oven...cover with water, add 10 peppercorns, 5-6 of whole cloves and a couple bay leaf, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until tender...about 2-3 hours.
After that, I let it cool, place it in a roasting pan and cover with a glaze...apricot preserves work good, and bake at 375 for about a half hour.

I've always wanted to try the cola version, since seeing Nigella do it. Looks good, but quite rich...
Thank You! I now have my supper recipe! This thread is amazing! I love it......someone knows something about everything and is willing to share!
I think I am going with the coke with a bay leaf and some cloves in with it and the onion......we will see about glazing it. thanks south down and seattlerain
This cola pork shoulder sounds like Sunday dinner. We can cook tonight and just warm tomorrow night after the big birthday parties. We have to of them to attend tomorrow...And I must work it off next week I know....
Elston, I'm jealous, you have your meal planned. I have to decide among stuffed veal breast, sausage and perrers, a cheeseburger or pasta. I went to the store to pick up a few things and saw the stuffed veal, already cooked, and got 2 of them. That should make 4 meals since it's only me.
I always cook my hams with the coke! I have tried so many recipes and nothing compares to the coke method! I just stab some holes in it, pour come coke over it, wrap tightly in tinfoil and bake! sounds simple and it is.
Perfect every time!
