Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325ðF (165ðC).
  2. Pat the smoked pork shoulder dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the meat in a crosshatch pattern, inserting whole cloves into the cuts.
  3. Place the pork in an 8-inch square baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes to begin rendering the fat and warming the meat.
  4. While the pork bakes, mix the brown sugar, orange juice, and 1 teaspoon of mustard in a small bowl until smooth.
  5. Remove the pork from the oven. Spoon the sugar-mustard glaze evenly over the top of the meat.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the canned pork and beans, cooked corn, green pepper strips, minced onion, minced garlic, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of mustard.
  7. Pour the bean mixture around the pork in the baking dish, being careful not to cover the glazed meat completely.
  8. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 45 minutes, or until the pork is tender and the bean mixture is bubbly.
  9. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to settle.
