Ingredients
  • 5-6 lb bone-in pork butt
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup kosher salt
  • 3 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine dark brown sugar, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix to combine.
  • Place bone-in pork butt in the Corningware 5.5 Qt. Dutch Oven, or similar product. Rub sugar mixture all over, making sure to get into any crevices.
  • Cover with the lid and marinade in the fridge for 12-24 hours.
  • When ready to cook, pre-heat the oven to 325F. Cook pork with the lid on for one hour. After one hour, remove the lid, flip the pork butt, baste with juices, and continue cooking for another two and a half hours. The pork is ready when it easily pulls away from the bone and shreds into pieces.
  • Finish off by sprinkling 2 tbsp brown sugar over the top. Increase oven temperature to 450F and bake for 10-15 minutes, until the sugar has melted and is golden and crispy.
