    • Combine all brine ingredients and mix until salt and sugar are dissolved.

    Putting pork into brine

    • Remove pork from brine and pat dry. Place in a roasting pan, fat side up.
    • Massage dry rub into the pork, making sure to cover completely.

    • Uncover the pork and bake until the internal temperature reaches 200ºF at the thickest part. This should take 1-2 hours. 
    • Once 200ºF (or right before for carry-over cooking), remove the pan from the oven and allow the pork to cool for 1-2 hours.
