Apple Cider and Honey brine for pork.

[Mr. McD]

I usually do this in my smoker with wood but I got rained out this weekend. I came out great oven roasted. I highly recommended a disposable roasting pan, I will certainly use one next time. 350 degrees for 30 – 35 minutes per pound or an internal temperature of 170.

For 1 gallon of brine (this will do a 10 pound picnic or butt roast).

2 qt water
2 qt Apple Cider
¾ cup honey
¾ cup salt
1 head garlic chopped
2 tablespoons peppercorns

Leave in brine 48 Hr.

1. That sounds great

I wonder if that would be good for turkey breast, too.

2. I am sure it would be good.

It is great for chicken though I mostly use it for pork.

3. Thanks

I don't buy pork loin anymore because it's so dry. I've been buying shoulder and boning it. It's way cheaper, too. However, I do occasionally do a turkey breast, and I usually brine it.
