Marinade for Smoked Pork Loin
When it comes to flavor combinations, fewer are more classic than pork and apple. Reminiscent of fall days and childhood, the sweet meatiness of the pork and the tartness of the apple are truly a flavor match if there ever was one. These nostalgic flavors are joined together and elevated several degrees in this recipe, where we marinate the pork loin in a honey apple cider marinade. We like to grill the pork loin on applewood to up the apple quotient and add an unmistakably sweet, aromatic flavor to the meat. This is a timeless marinade recipe that will be enjoyed by all.
