Before I even fire the stick burner on Sunday. Just starting my apple cider brine for the turkey breasts that will be put in the brine on Saturday night to brine until Sunday morning.
Start with 2 qts apple cider, ten sprigs or so of fresh tyhyme, peppercorns, 2 heads of garlic cut crosswise, half cup brown sugar, cup and half kosher salt, juniper berries and about a Tbs of honey.
Bring to a boil and then take off the heat and cover and let steep until cool.
Tomorrow I will add about a gallon of water and the turkey breast to it to brine over night.
I have about 14lbs of prime rib to go with the turkey as well as baked beans and horseradish mashed taters so I will be busy the next couple of days.
Going to try hard to document this smoke and update along the way. Seems I start out good but as things get busy and people begin to show up I get spread thin and the camera gets lost in the shuffle.
