["After you unpack your meat you are going to wash it. I go to Kollner's butcher in Rockville Centre and pick up the pork butt. It's still packaged so I just want to wash off any of the juices which have been sitting on the outside of the meat. No need to go crazy here, it's just a quick rinse.", "I personally believe in trimming the butt as much as possible, though there are two camps on this. Some people say that you should leave as much of the fat on the butt to ensure that the butt doesn't dry out. I'm of the other camp.", "Mix up the injection - 2 cups fruit juice to one cup Fab P. If you have time (I didn't this year) mix up the injection marinade 24 hours in advanced.", "Once your pork and marinade is ready fill up your injector. I use the heavy duty Spitjack.", "Inject into the meat. Try to make sure you get an even distribution and that your meat takes as much as it can hold.", "Once you have injected the meat with as much marinade as it will hold you can then begin to work on flavoring the outside of the meat.", "Put a single layer of large foil on your work surface. You want to make sure that the foil is big enough to wrap your butt in... the butt you are working on.", "Put down a layer of honey. Honey is great and it comes in my flavors, colors and varieties. Use the cheap stuff here. I have found very little difference using the stuff that comes from the supermarket in a plastic squeeze container as opposed to using the much more expensive small run or ""gourmet"" type honey.", "I put down a thin layer of rub. I think this is more superstition than actually doing anything.", "Before I put the meat onto the foil I generously coat in rub. This is the side I am going to put down onto the foil.", "I have put the ""rubbed"" side down on the foil. Now I coat the top side with additional rub. You can see the meat is just soaking up the color and flavor.", "Put a little more honey on top, just a light coating.", "Wrap it up in the foil. Then wrap a second time.", "Wrap it up just like you would a package.", "Place the whole thing in a 2 gallon plastic bag and put in the refrigerator. Let sit at least overnight if not for 24 hours."]
