    Post Smoke Brine

    The smoke/salt levels are surprisingly low. I went with a simple salt, sugar, honey, and water brine for them. Then they'll be grilled and glazed with a orange and Amaretto glaze.

    Post Smoke Brine

    I have tried it and its a surprisingly good product. Sorry, this is harder to explain in this format vs having a conversation. My main goal is keeping it from drying out during the reheat process for service on Sunday.

    Post Smoke Brine

    Ok, so, unusual question. I'm working with an already smoked bone in pork loin. The end result is that I'm going to glaze and grill it. I want to impart some more flavor and moisture into it. Would you all recommend a wet brine or a dry one?

    Corned Pork

    Sure thing. I call it "corned pork" because I used the same brine recipe that I'm using for corned beef. I used about 2/3-3/4 of a small bottle of pickling spice and the same amount of juniper berries. So I guess its more the background flavors of apple pie (cinnamon, ginger, allspice, etc.)...

    Corned Pork

    My latest experiment: Corned Pork. It tastes like bacon and apple pie. Neither of these are bad things. I also made some apple slaw in order to make "reubens" with it.

    Dr. Pepper Ham

    It went very quick. However, here are the before, after and sliced pictures of the Dr. Pepper Ham we had for Christmas dinner today. Next time I might try to cook down the Dr. Pepper to get a more concentrated flavor and/or add some brown sugar to the mix. All that aside, everyone was very happy.

    Dr. Pepper Ham

    And done. It didn't take on hardly any of the flavor of the Pickapeppa but otherwise it is tender, juicy and delicious. Considering this is my first time, I will call it a success.
