Without a doubt one of the best brines I've tried. I've been interested in simple Shaker recipes lately... this one is from "The Shaker Kitchen: Over 100 Recipes From Canterbury Shaker Village". Although I just roasted the brined meat in the oven, the recipe goes on to smoke the meat over applewood. And of course, serve with applesauce! Prep time includes brining.
