Hello! I can't find pork shoulder where I live. I could only find "ham" (the back leg). Would it work well for this recipe? thanks :)

Pork shoulder is undoubtedly available in your area. It is one of the biggest cuts of pork, most flavorful despite the fact it requires slow and low cooking.

It is probably being sold under one of its other names. "Butt roast" is one commonly used name for pork shoulder (it does not come from the butt).

If you continue to have problems finding it, go to a real butcher store (one staffed by actual butchers behind the counter) and ask for pork shoulder there.

This is the same cut that is used for pulled pork, carnitas, etc. It's available in your area.

Best of luck.
