How to Make
-
Step 1: Mix all the brine ingredients together in a pot and bring to a boil.

Step 2: Turn off heat and stir the brine well with a spoon to insure the sugar, salt and maple syrup has dissolved. Let the brine cool, then place brine in a large glass dish or bowl.
-
Step 3: Add in pork chops or roast (making certain that all the meat is covered completely with brine). Cover and refrigerate for NO MORE than 8 hours.

Step 4: Remove the pork from the brine and pat dry without rinsing. Season the pork with pepper ONLY (do not season with salt they are salty enough from the brine!). Grill as desired.
