Combine all the rub ingredients and thoroughly rub over entire shoulder. Place the shoulder into a zip lock bag with and remaining rub, squeezing as mush air out as possible. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight. Massage and turn the bag from time to time.

Combine all the glaze ingredients in a saucepan and bring to boil. Put to one side for coating the meat during the cooking process.

Remove shoulder from the bag and pat dry with a paper towel.
