I posted last week bout times/temps for SV on a pork butt and formulated a plan. This PB had been hiding in the freezer since last fall. Thawed and trimmed the pork butt,I left some fat but took off about a pound of back fat (fed it to the visiting ravens).
Rubbed down and vac sealed for a 22hour bath at 165*.
I then added some more rub and put it in a preheated oven at 300* for an hour and a half.
I had saved the juice from the bag and froze it to remove the fat. I added the juice to a batch of JJ's finishing sauce and added this to the shredded pork. It was tasty BUT I miss that smoky flavor you get from a good nap in the smoker. I had added a little liquid smoke but it wasn't noticeable at all. I went this route as I wasn't going to be home all day and the SV was doing the work in my absence. Pic below is the finished product ,doesn't look so good in a clear glass bowl . :) All and all I was happy with the results for a nonsmoked butt. Thanks for looking ! CM
