There is a blade bone in this product. You will need a good narrow boning knife to cut the meat off of the bone. We get as close as we can, then bake the bones at 250 degrees for several hours to loosen the remaining meat from the bones. We pressure can that remaining meat and the juices that come from it. The meat we cut off the bone in the first place is pretty tough as Boston Butt is supposed to be. We run it through our meat grinder and make homemade ground pork. At this point, we either eat the ground pork plain, make sausage, etc. It's very versatile and we love processing our own meat this way. The last time my wife went to our Sam's, they were out of this, and a lady behind my wife was looking for some too. It appears this is getting to be quite the popular items at our local club.

Sam's Boston Butt is one of the better values in the Meat Dept. When Sam's increased prices of the Baby-back Ribs and other pork products, I was looking for a better value? Pork Shoulders are what I came up with! Pulled Pork, Pork Sandwiches and spicy Pork Tacos are all great with Sam's Club Boston Butt Pork Shoulder! Hint: Instant-Pot recipies will cut the cooking time way down as Boston Butt can take a long time in a conventional oven or smoker.

This pork shoulder made delicious Chinese barbecue pork. My family raved over this preparation. It was so tender and moist. I always thought that pork shoulder was used just for pulled pork, but I was surprised to find out that it’s used also for Chinese barbecue pork and is ready in 50 minutes. I found a wonderful recipe on woksoflife.com. I put it in stir fry and in soft tortillas. Or just slice, heat and eat. Delicious.

I purchased two of these in November 2020 and both had a green tinge in the meat close to the bone. I had to toss a lot of the meat as I had never seen this before. I will probably not buy again in Cryovac. I suspect the meat was old or mishandled in transit. Did not check pack date. If not in a bind as I was cooking for a party, I would have returned to Sams for a refund.

Great to see these good prices back again

just perfect not to fatty

Cooked for funeral dinner. Had lots of compliments!

Excellent cut for pulled Pork; after cooking bone was less than half a pound.

High quality product that smoked up to perfection
