Smoked Pico Boston Butt was an accident that never tasted so good. The accident: Kortney was making fresh pico and let it run longer in the food processor than she should have and ended up with a purée. She was incredibly disappointed as she had my heart set on making her grandfather’s pico. I’ve included the puree receipe below, but you can find the actual recipe here: Papaw’s Pico De Gallo

I went to the store to get more tomatoes as we did not have enough for her to make even a small amount of pico for us to snack on, let alone have with our planned dinner of Grilled Chicken Thigh Tacos. I came home with an about a 4LB Boston butt that looked amazing.

”Hear me out”, I said. “I’m listening”, she responded. “Your pico purée on this Boston butt and smoke it.”

And here we are, with a keeper recipe that we hope you’ll enjoy.
