PULLED PORK BRINE RECIPE
Apple and pork are two things that always go together so well. So, for the oh-so-American, perfect pulled pork brine recipe, it makes sense to incorporate the use of apple juice-based brine.

Steps:
- For this pulled pork recipe, combine all of the brine ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Make sure that you stir well so that all of the spices get completely dissolved in the mixing bowl.
- Once the brine is complete, place the pork butt in a food-safe storage container and pour the brine inside.
- As for the refrigerator, once everything is sealed up tight and the pork is just about completely covered, refrigerate 12 to 18 hours.
- When it is time to cook the pork butt, remove it from the container. Dry the pork off using some kitchen paper towels.
- You can use the ingredients listed above to create a rub that pairs well with the brine used.
- Either way, always put a lightly coated "binder" on the pork so that the rub will have a better chance of sticking.
- Once you have the rub on, allow the pork butt to sit with it.
- Ideally, the pork should sit for about 20-30 minutes.
- While the pork sits, you can take the time to prepare your smoker, starting by preheating it to 225ºF.
- When the smoker is ready, place the pork butt inside and close the lid.
- At the beginning stages of the cooking process, it isn't too important to monitor the internal temperature of the pork.
- Since we're smoking the pork butt here, we're aiming for a cooking time anywhere from 9 to 12 hours long, so prepare yourself for keeping a watch on that smoker.
- Around the four hour mark or so, use a good thermometer to begin checking on that internal temperature.
- When the pork butt reaches an internal temperature of around 160ºF, wrap it up in aluminum foil.
- Keep an eye on that internal temperature.
- The optimal temperature for a well-finished pork butt is 195ºF. Sometimes, the pork can reach that around 9 hours or so.
- Once that target temperature has been met, remove the pork butt from the smoker.
- Be sure to let this rest for a good amount of time. It is ideal to rest for 1 ½ to 2 hours.
- When it's time, remove the pork butt from the aluminum foil.
- This liquid is packed full of flavor, so you will want to save it; it can be mixed into the meat later on.
- Take a fork and knife, a pulling claw, or your hands as long as they are properly protected with the right gloves.
- Regardless of what you use, as the internal temperature of the pork is 195ºF, it should shred with relative ease.
- If you plan to serve up the brined pulled pork pork immediately, then you can use that liquid you saved from the aluminum foil and mix it in with the meat, add some homemade barbecue sauce.

- Combine all the ingredients of the brine solution, in a large bowl. Whisk the solution until all of the salt dissolves. Using a glass bowl helps to you see whether or not the salt dissolves. Another way to check is to use a spoon and scoop up the brine from the bottom. There should be no salt in the spoon.
- Place the meat in a zip-top bag large enough to hold whatever it is you are brining. Pour the brine solution over the meat. Make sure the meat is submerged completely. If you do not have enough to cover the meat, then make another batch.
- Seal the bag squeezing as much air out of the bag as possible. Place the bag inside a bowl (to ensure no messy leaks inside the refrigerator).
