Pork Tenderloin Brine

By Derrick Riches, About.com

This brine is perfect for pork, but works well with other meats like poultry. Brining adds moisture and flavor to anything you cook.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 8 cups of water
  • 8 ounces kosher salt
  • 8 ounces sugar
  • 1/2 cup whole black peppercorns
  • 2 tablespoons allspice berries

Preparation:

Boil 2 cups of water. Add salt and sugar and stir until dissolved. Add remaining 6 cups of cold water and stir in remaining ingredients. Makes enough brine for about 5 pounds of tenderloin. Brine for at least 24 hours, however you can leave it for several days it you wish.
