Directions

  1. Place rosemary, thyme, sage, bay leaves, and black pepper into a cloth spice bag.

  2. Combine water and salt in a stock pot, stir until salt dissolves. Bring to a boil, place spice bag into water, and simmer until flavors combine, about 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature, at least 1 hour.

  3. Pour cold apple juice into cold spice mixture and stir until combined.

Recipe Yield

2 gallons brine

Recipe Note

An apple brine not only adds flavor to the meat, it adds moisture through osmosis. This moisture will prevent the meat from drying out while slow-roasting for many hours.
