BASIC PORK BRINE



Basic Pork Brine image

I use this brine for all pork cuts that I grill. It adds a subtle flavor to the meat without being too salty. The pork cooks up tender, moist and delicious every time.

KITTENCAL'S BASIC BUTTERMILK BRINE FOR PORK CHOPS



Kittencal's Basic Buttermilk Brine for Pork Chops image

This is not for anyone on a salt restricted diet, I have left the garlic as optional if you are a garlic lover then add in --- this brine is enough for 4 large pork chops or 1 pork tenderloin, for a larger amount of pork chops prepare ingredients listed but in two separate bowls, do not double into one bowl --- kosher salt only for this, feel free to add in 1/2 to 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary.
