Boston butt, also called pork butt or pork shoulder, is a well-marbled cut of pork taken from the upper portion of the pig’s shoulder. Despite its name, it does not come from the rear of the animal. Its rich fat content and connective tissue make it especially well suited for low-and-slow cooking methods such as smoking, braising, roasting, or slow cooking. When cooked until tender, Boston butt becomes juicy and easy to shred, making it a popular choice for pulled pork sandwiches, tacos, barbecue plates, and hearty stews. For best results, cook it to an internal temperature of about 195–205°F, then let it rest before pulling or slicing.
