Perfect Roast Pork Shoulder

I have to post the following recipe to share the wealth of this knowledge and also so that I don't forget the secret to perfect crackling!
The timings here are for a 1kg piece of meat.

-Remove the meat from the fridge in plenty of time to allow it to get to room temperature.

-Preheat oven to 230°C

-Using kitchen towel, pat the rind dry

-Rub with oil and sprinkle with salt

-Put it into the oven

-After 25 minutes turn it down to 160°C for a further 3 hours

*Get your roast potatoes in the oven 1 1/2 hours before the end! I like to sprinkle a bit of salt, vinegar, garlic n fresh herbs such as Marjaram

Serve with loads of yummy fresh veg, good gravy and homemade apple sauce :-)
