Ingredients:

• 1 country sausage
• 2 handfuls of raisins
• 1 handful of currants
• 1/2 teaspoon sage
• 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 sprig of rosemary
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 4 – 5 slices of cornbread
• Bread crumbs (enough to bind)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Dried rosemary for sprinkling

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Stuffing:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine cornbread, bread crumbs, sausage, raisins, currants, sage, and poultry seasoning.
   • Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
   • Pour in half of the chicken broth and all of the cream of mushroom soup.
   • Stir until well combined.
   • Gradually add more broth until reaching the desired consistency for the stuffing.

2. Prepare the Pork Shoulder:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Butterfly the pork shoulder by making a 2-inch incision down the center lengthwise, then carefully open up the sides to create a flat surface.
   • Spread the prepared stuffing evenly over the center of the pork shoulder, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges.
   • Roll the pork shoulder back up, using twine to tie it tightly at intervals to secure the stuffing inside.

3. Season and Roast:

   • Coat a roasting pan with olive oil and a dusting of flour.
   • Place the stuffed pork shoulder in the prepared pan.
   • Drizzle olive oil over the surface of the pork.
   • Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and dried rosemary for added flavor.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 170°F (77°C).

4. Final Touches:

   • Once cooked, remove the pork shoulder from the oven.
   • Optionally, remove the cover to allow the roast to brown slightly.
   • Let the roast cool for a few minutes before slicing.
   • Carefully remove the twine from the pork shoulder.
   • Slice the stuffed pork shoulder into thick, juicy portions.

5. Serving Suggestion:

   • Pair this delectable dish with slow-cooked apple chunks for a delightful contrast of flavors.
   • Simply combine apple chunks with brown sugar, lemon juice, pecans, cinnamon, nutmeg, and grated lemon rind in a crockpot.
   • Cook on low heat until the apples are tender and infused with the rich flavors of the seasoning.

6. Enjoy!

   • Serve up your beautifully crafted Stuffed Pork Shoulder alongside the flavorful apple accompaniment.
   • Delight in the succulent textures and harmonious blend of savory and sweet flavors with every mouthwatering bite.
