Basic Pork Injection Marinade
This is an easy "go to" recipe for a pork injection marinade. This will help to keep your smoked pork tender and flavorful during a lengthy cooking process. This injection marinade is the perfect starting point to making great BBQ Pulled Pork.
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.
