Boston Baked Pork and Beans

Meat lovers fall over themselves for a sandwich of barbequed pulled pork…but here, we can use the recipe for Boston baked beans to produce a huge pulled pork shoulder with a taste that is truly unique! Many folks here in New England have sat down on a Saturday evening to a traditional dinner of franks and Boston baked beans. (Some lucky folks have even had original New England Brown Bread to accompany it!) But, lately, I've discovered this same recipe can be used in a manner somewhat less traditional, to produce a huge pot of pork and beans with the amount of pork actually equal to the beans, if not fully surpassing it. The recipe for this dish can be found on my Web site, Cast Iron Chaos, at: http://www.modemac.com/boston-baked-p...

This dish used two pounds of Great Northern beans, plus a ten pound pork shoulder. It was baked in a vintage 1960s-era #10 size 12-inch Birmingham Stove & Range cast iron dutch oven. The pork shoulder was seared in a Finex 12-inch cast iron skillet.
