A fresh pork picnic comes from the lower part of the shoulder. It's an excellent cut for pulled pork, long, slow roasting, or boiled dinners. Sweet potatoes, turnips, and cabbage make this pork boiled dinner a complete, hearty meal, and it's budget-friendly. The roast is braised with the vegetables, making a wonderful weekend family meal. Feel free to use red-skinned potatoes and carrots in the dish as well. This dish is made with a fresh pork picnic, but a smoked picnic may be substituted.
