Course Marinades/Brines

Cuisine American BBQ

Servings 1 Cups

Ingredients

  

• 1/2 cup apple juice
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons spice rub (the same that you'll be using on the roast)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

 

• Make sure that the spice rub is well pulverized. Large chunks of herbs can become stuck in the injector. If possible, grind them down further in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
• Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Let stand for 10-15 minutes, and stir. Salt should be well dissolved.
• Fill the syringe and inject the solution into multiple parts of the pork roast. Cook as directed.
• Discard any marinade that has come into contact with raw meat.
• Make ahead of time and store in a covered container in the refrigerator for 5 days after preparation.
