Comments

I was raised near Smithfield VA and we ate more than our fair share of pork. The biggest mistake people make is not cooking it slowly enough or long enough. It is very versatile as I have noted at the end of the recipe. If the roast isn't finished at dinner, make barbeque for the next days lunch!
