Glad to hear it came out good. Just cooked one up myself on Friday night. If you need any more help, just give a holler.

I was more than happy to spread the wealth! Later.

I had porketta once 20 + yrs.ago and it was good .I saw this thread and got the fixings and tried it.We get these pork loins @ s.Club by the case and filet one about 1ft.long to 1/2" thick and put the spices on rolled it up and two thumbs up.My kids wife and sister in law all thought it was great too.Thanks

How much per pound is a pork butt?

[metro 1]

At Sam's C. pork tender loins were $1.59 lbs. they come in a case of 5 and each one is 3' long...The Mrs. cuts them into chops .I know you asked about pork butts but we used the loins for this recipe.

[Bohunk]

Pork butt usually is around $1.29/pound to $1.59/pound. You can also use pork sirloin roast. Watch your local super/meat market for sales and pick some up. I just got some for $1.99/lb. I like mine a little leaner, so I usually go with the sirloin, or the larger Sam's loin (these are about 7-10 lbs. each and I cut them in 1/3's or 1/4's to make the porkettas). Either way they turn out good. Metro 1: Glad to hear everyone liked the porketta, glad I could help out.

Thanks for the site. I also will be waiting for your brothers recipe. The porketta's that the wife picks up at Super One just don't seem to have the right or maybe not enough flavor so I am happy that I can make one of my own. There is nothing like that smell coming from the crock pot when you walk in the door

Hey Jim,,, if i recall right you and the misses have a cabin up in the deer lake area,,, next time you head up there ,, stop in and try Freds in Nashwauk/Goodland for their Porkettas,,A little spicier than most but great IMO....They also sell a spice mix to make your own and works great for processing venison.

For those of you that live in the cities Cossettas and Not sure if DelMonicos is still open,, but from a fromer ranger those two place had the best i found.

Ps..Jim, few years ago i meet you and the wife at a friends bitrthday party in rapids. I'm the guy who will drill holes around your truck if ya fish to close to me .. hope all is well with you and yours.

I’ll be picking one up this weekend to bring home for sure.

Nothing, and I mean nothing beats shredded slow cooked porketta served on a fresh bakery hard roll.

We don't have the cabin anymore With Lisa going back to school for nursing it was just too much and thank goodness we were able to sell because now I am laid off.

My brother told me about Delmonico's and they have some very good Sweet and Hot Italian sausage that he would bring up to me. Now I just go to the Italian Village in west Duluth for my sausage. Both places have some awesome Pepperoni that just makes a great homemade pizza. My other favorite from the Italian Village is the Sicilian Olives. If you ever get a chance they are great if you like a little spice.

well thats a bummer about the cabin Jim ,, all things happen for a reason i guess,, like me i was looking for a decent place to buy up on the raqnge but ended up south of st cloud a bit .. price was right and with my work ( or lack of this year) it realy dont matter where i live ,, so in that aspect i guess i am lucky ,, tell Lisa i said hi .. and maybe our paths will cross again some time .

Got that right! One of the problems around here is that the locals think a hard roll is a bun that has been left out to dry. I'm forced to buy my hard rolls when I visit family in Hibbing, Mt. Iron, Virginia, or Cloquet where they know what a hard roll really is. One of these days I might have to find out how to make them myself.
