Easy Pork Brine

Easy Pork Brine

Tangy and sweet, and a very quick fixture to flavor, without much time! Once you have stirred water into the mixture, add pork chops. Let pork chops sit in the brine in the refrigerator for about 2 hours before cooking.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup salt
  • 1 tablespoon mustard powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup cider vinegar
  • 2 cups water, or as needed to cover

Directions

Step 1
Mix brown sugar, salt, mustard powder, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Pour in cider vinegar; stir until sugar and salt have dissolved. Add water; stir until well combined.

Cook’s Note:

I use quick fry pork chops with this recipe. I don't add other spices. The brown sugar helps with the searing and makes a nice natural sauce out of it too!

    I used this brine recipe for a 4 lb. pork shoulder roast. I marinated overnight. I cooked in slow cooker and we ate it on onion rolls with some pickled peppers I canned. My family ate and ate. We all loved the bit of tangy flavor of the meat. Simple and easy.

    I found it easy to make and added just enough flavor to enhance the taste of my first smoked Boston butt.

    Very good brine, will definitely make pork chops this way again although, next time I might use slightly less salt. Maybe 1/3 cup vs. 1/2 cup.
