Yes, you certainly can cook this pork shoulder in the oven instead of in a slow cooker.

Here's a good rule of thumb:

If the recipe says to cook the dish on the low setting of the slow cooker, then cook it in a Dutch oven or other heavy, tightly lidded pot in a heated 325 oven for 1/4 the time stated in the recipe. If the recipe calls for the high setting, cook for 1/2 that time.

This recipe says to cook it on high for 4 hours. You would therefore cook it in the oven for 2 hours.

The actual time needed in the slow cooker can vary quite a bit, depending on the slow cooker itself and other factors, so leave a bit of extra time, as the recipe could take longer than the formula suggests. (I've found that pork shoulder often does take longer than expected when i cook it at lower temperatures in the oven.)

I hope this helps! ;o)
