Sometimes we really have to scratch our heads trying to decipher “what is in a name?”
The story is…that a Pork Butt really comes from the front leg of a pig. While this seems to make no sense, butchers tell us that the name “pork butt” comes from the wooden barrels, called butts, in which the shoulders of pigs were once packed. Due to the fact that this term was originally coined in Boston, the proud folks of that town claimed the name as their own. The butt is cut from the upper half of the leg, while the bottom portion is referred to as the picnic roast (and that is a story for another day).
Both of these cuts work equally well in most all recipes for pork shoulder. Now you might be asking yourself, what about the pig’s actual butt? Well folks, that would be the ham. Hopefully, your confusion has lifted, and now you are knowledgable on all things pork butt. So how about some Pasture Prime Berkshire bargains and some awesome recipes?
