The package says, "Fresh Pork Picnic." It's the shoulder portion that would be called a "picnic ham" if it was cured, but it's not. I said shoulder. I do know which end of the pig it came from.

Maybe a crock pot recipe . . . I had not thought of that, I was thinking roasting in the oven with minimal moisture, but maybe braising is an idea.

On the other hand I did like the suggestion of treating it like a leg of lamb. That would probably work, too.
