    Pernil (Puerto Rican Pork Shoulder),This is a delicious way to cook pork. I got this recipe from my boyfriend who is from Puerto Rico. This also makes excellent, moist meat for Cuban sandwiches.,Very delicious-moist and well-seasoned. We crisp the layer of skin by broiling it in the oven. Amazing!,I could only find an 8.6 pound pork. I put 8 teaspoons of salt and added a little extra for the .6 of a pound. Do you think it will be too salty? TIA!
