Default Bought a boston butt - don't think it was done.

I bought a boston butt from a local school as a fund raiser - outside
looked good and all. I started slicing it and all (wasn't tender
enough to pull). I cut down into it and there was this jelly like
substance in the middle of it - could it be coagulated blood? I'm
just not sure that it was completely done. I've smoked butts before
and I know what mine look like when they are done, but this one didn't
look like what I"m used to. The meat still had a bit of a pink tint
too it as well, not all of it, but most. What do you guys think?
It's already been in my fridge as I had to just drop it off and go, so
I can't pop it in the oven to finish it. Should I just throw it out?

Thanks,
