Default pork cheek *fail*

photo (29).JPG

didn't cook em long enough.

looks real purdy though. they smoked @ 275* for an hour dusted with oakridge secret weapon. then braised in stout, cherry preserve, apple juice, with minced onion, garlic powder, salt and pepper, for another hour. they probed tender, but alas, needed another good hour.

If you haven't eaten it all yet perhaps you can slice it thin and use it like bacon.

Did the butcher get the glands out?
My butcher didn't, lucky I found them before I used them.
I agree, sure was purdy!

Sorry the didn't turn out how you wanted. Went out to dinner at some fancy place last night and had apple cider braised pork cheeks . They were awesome, immediately thought, where can I get these and how can I smoke 'em.

Sorry it didn't turn out well, but looks like you got a good recipe out of the deal.
