Pork Brine

This is a great easy-brine for pork!  Remember when you're doing a brine, let the water cool completely before adding meat--you don't want to start the cooking process!

Ingredients:

2-3 cups water to boil, plus 1-2 cold after
1/4 cup salt
2 Tbs brown sugar
1 rosemary sprig
3 garlic cloves
1 tsp peppercorns

Directions:

Bring water to boil, add salt, sugar and dissolve.  Remove from heat and add garlic, rosemary and peppercorns.  Let mixture cool to room temperature, add additional water.  Pour mixture over pork, in a zip-lock bag.  Let pork brine for 12-24 hours.
