We grind it straight and freeze it straight, then add a bit of pork breakfast sausage from the store right when it is time to cook it.
Have also found that we can age roasts in the fridge for a couple of weeks, and they get quite tender.
The kids have been loving this recipe on roasts lately:
2-week fridge-aged roast
crock pot
one can coca-cola classic
one package onion soup mix
few squirts of BBQ sauce
some water
bunch of onions, carrots, celery
6-8 hours
