Ingredients

  • 4 to 5 pounds boneless pork shoulder or butt meat, cut into large serving-size pieces
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons black peppercorns
  • 1 white onion, unpeeled and quartered
  • 3 garlic cloves, unpeeled and crushed

Method

  • Place the pork, salt, and peppercorns in a large pot.
  • Pour in 10 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 3 hours.
  • Skim the froth off the surface with a spoon.
  • Remove from the heat, take out the pork pieces with a slotted spoon or tongs, and place in a bowl to cool.
  • Strain the broth through a sieve and skim off the fat.
  • Chilling the broth makes removing the fat easier.
  • Once the pork is cool enough to handle, pull the meat off the bones and tear it into bite-sized pieces.
  • Discard the bones.
  • Measure out enough broth or pork for your chosen recipe and keep the rest refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 6 months.
