Maple Brined Pork Loin

Patricia @ ButterYum

Welcome to my first Holiday Recipe Club submission.  The ingredients I was to use for this Memorial Day challenge were watermelon (don't like), beer (don't drink), or pork (I can do that).

This is a recipe I found a few years ago on Chef John's blog Food Wishes.  Like all the other Chef John recipes I've tried, this one's a keeper.  Easy too.  Enjoy!

Maple-Brined Pork Loin

makes 4-6 servings

Printable Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2-3 pound boneless pork loin roast

  • 4 cups cold water

  • 1/4 cup kosher salt

  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup (no substitutes)

  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed

  • 3-4 slices fresh ginger

  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  • 2 teaspoons dried rosemary

  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper

  • vegetable oil

Glaze:

Directions

  1. In a container large enough to hold the brine and pork loin (I used a gallon size zipper top bag), combine the water, kosher salt, 1/3 cup maple syrup, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and rosemary; stir to dissolve salt completely.

  2. Add the pork loin; refrigerate for 8-10 hours.

  3. Remove loin from brine; discard brine.

  4. Dry the roast very well with paper towels. Preheat the oven to 325F.

  5. In an oven safe pan, over med-high heat, brown the pork loin on all sides.

  6. Transfer pan to preheated oven; roast for a total of 20-25 minutes per pound.

  7. Approximately 15 minutes before the roast is done, make the glaze by combining the Dijon and remaining maple syrup.

  8. Reserve some glaze for garnish; brush the rest on the loin.

  9. Continue roasting until the loin reaches an internal temperature of 155F.

  10. Let the loin rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
