The pork picnic, also known as a picnic shoulder, is a well-marbled cut from the lower part of the pork shoulder that becomes incredibly tender when cooked low and slow. This whole cut retains the bone and skin, enhancing flavor development and creating delicious, succulent pulled pork. Rich in protein and essential nutrients, the pork picnic is ideal for pulled pork sandwiches, Hawaiian kalua pork, traditional Southern barbecue, and hearty stews. The substantial size makes it perfect for meal prepping, entertaining guests, or creating multiple dishes from one roast. Its natural fat content keeps the meat moist throughout the cooking process, ensuring restaurant-quality results in your own kitchen.
For best results, slow roast your pork picnic at low temperatures between 225-250 degrees Fahrenheit until the internal temperature reaches 190-205 degrees, allowing approximately 2-3 hours per pound. This method yields tender, easily shredded meat perfect for countless recipes. Try smoking your pork picnic for authentic barbecue, braising it with aromatic vegetables and broth, or seasoning it with your favorite dry rub for traditional roasted presentations. The meat pairs beautifully with coleslaw, cornbread, baked beans, and pickles. Publix quality assurance ensures you're receiving a premium pork product that delivers consistent excellence every time you cook.
