This meal came to into being through
a spice jar mishap, with a name to match. Thanks Lesli from Villa Park. "Whoops, the Lid Fell Off" Spiced Pork Shoulder - Enough whole potatoes to cover the bottom of a slow cooker (any kind, skins on)
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- chili powder
- salt
- lots of cinnamon
- red pepper (optional)
- 3 pounds pork shoulder
Wash potatoes and place on bottom of slow cooker. Pour vinegar over. Sprinkle
salt, chili powder, red pepper, and a little cinnamon on top. Place pork shoulder on potatoes. Sprinkle
with salt, chili powder, and whoops, the lid came off the cinnamon, so coat the meat liberally with that (about 1/3-1/2 jar
of cinnamon...it was a lot!) Cover and cook on high for about 2 1/2-3 hours. Turn to low for 2 hours or until you're ready to eat.
Serve meat and potatoes with juices poured
over top. Good
with a side of homemade kimchi. Could
also be pulled and eaten as a sandwich with kimchi or coleslaw on top.

Wedding Pork **This was a big hit at our son's wedding! Marinade - 1/2 C soy sauce

- 1 tsp dry mustard
Mix marinade ingredients. Place roast & marinade in plastic bag or sealed container.
Refrigerate overnight or all day. Bake at 325 for 60-90 minutes until center is no longer pink (or reaches 160
degrees).
Slow Cooker Pork Ribs (Another great recipe from Lesli.) Place ribs in slow cooker with vinegar for 2-5 hours
on high. Add BBQ sauce. Cook 4 hours on low.
Ham Roast Your Applewood Smoked Ham Roast is a traditional style Ham. It is
not pre-cooked.
Thaw fully for 24 hours in the refrigerator. If the center is frozen still, it won't cook evenly
- the outer will be dry and the center undercooked. If you are using a glaze during cooking, you can remove the rind/fat
layer toward the end of cooking just before applying glaze. Cook to 160 degrees internal temperature. At 325 degrees,
your ham should take 2 or 2 1/2 hours to cook. Wait 15 minutes before carving ham.
Most often, the ham is
carved and served with potatoes or sweet potatoes. Dripping can be used to make gravy, but be aware that the drippings
may be very salty.
Leftover Ideas You can use your ham, or the leftovers for any other ham recipe
you desire: - ham and eggs for breakfast, or a breakfast casserole - warmed with pineapple for a Hawaiian flavor,
goes well with rice - cube ham and mix with cubed boiled potatoes and cream sauce. Add frozen peas and bake until warm
for a full meal casserole. - Ham & potato soup or ham & bean soup - Chilled ham on tossed salad - grind
& mix with mayo & pickle relish for ham salad sandwiches - mix with mayo & serve over lettuce & cottage
cheese
