Throwing out a question for everyone... has anyone done any injected butts with jalapeno? I have tried an overnight brine with jalapeno, lime, salt, garlic and a little sugar but had pretty disappointing results. Smoked with apple wood. Meat was good but there was barely a tinge of jalapeno heat and really only in the outer 1/4 inch of the butt. So...
I am thinking about pureeing my same brine ingredients and injecting. I have never injected a butt before... I am on the side of not necessary! But I really want to infuse some flavor into it.
Has anyone done this? Any thoughts?
