I'm brining as we speak without sugar. I had printed Hound's Citrus brine
recipe out at least a year ago. Now I'm noticing some posts and web listings calling for 3/4 cup brown sugar. My original doesn't call for the sugar. Should I have included it and what happens when i don't. This link calls for sugar: (and olive oil) http://www.cooking-forum.net/cooking...y_1078621.html This link calls for no sugar: http://www.tejassmokers.com/recipes.htm Clarification would be appreciated. |

I think all brines need some sweetener or else the product will be very,
very salty. The most common basic brine is: Per gallon of water: 1 cup kosher salt (or 1/2 cup table salt) 1 cup sugar (or your choice of sweetener, brown sugar, molasses, honey, etc.) spices/flavors you like I did a 20.5 lb'er yesterday in 3 gallons of Hound's brine, more or less, rest his soul. Our lime tree is is full of ripe fruit, so I used all limes. I'll let it soak 2 days; tomorrow AM I'll decant the bird and put it back in the 'fridge to dry and make a crisp skin. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Louis Cohen Living la vida loca at N37° 43' 7.9" W122° 8' 42.8" "bk" > wrote in message ... > I'm brining as we speak without sugar.
