Roasted Pork Butt

1 Pork shoulder; bone-in - (5 lbs), untrimmed, not tied
Salt; to taste

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Season all sides of the pork with salt and
pepper. Place the pork, fat-side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast the
pork for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 250 degrees and continue to cook for
6 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and cool completely. Remove the meat from
the pan and using two forks, shred all of the meat. This recipe yields about
3 pounds of meat.
