In a small saucepan, simmer the Bourbon to burn the alcohol content, let cool. We previously evaporated the alcohol since, in the absence of oxygen and inside the vacuum bag it does not evaporate and would bring unpleasant flavors to the preparations. Season the pork shoulder and vacuum pack in a bag with Bourbon and Barbecue Sauce. Cook sous vide in the fusionchef water bath at 70 ºC for 12 hours. Remove from the bag and finish in a dry oven at 220 ºC for 20 minutes until browned.

Spiced Pineapple (sous vide):
Vacuum Pack in a bag with the water, sugar and spices. Cook sous vide in the fusionchef water bath at 70 ºC for 1 hour.
