The Briner

[SconnieQ]

Do you have a deli or restaurant in your neighborhood? Maybe even a grocery store? A deli a few blocks from my house occasionally advertises stacks and stacks of pickle buckets available... for free. These are 5 gallon buckets that their pickles come in, so they are food safe, have lids, and are FREE! You could talk to someone at your grocery deli, or neighborhood restaurant or cafe, school cafeteria, (or anyone you know in hospitality or food service) and see if they throw away large food buckets. Small neighborhood places are more likely to happily save these for you. Food service has many things in these buckets besides pickles, like mayo etc., and they throw them away.

The Cabelas Brine mix in with the Peach, peacan, and Cherry wood made an amazing turkey. Problem with it is no one ate the ham or the other Deep fried turkey. Which meant there was no left overs for samiches.  That honey poultry Brine from Cabelas is actually really good. Just wanted to give an update I put it in the brine about 7pm on Tuesday night. Pulled it out of the brine at 9am on Thanksgiving. it was amazing.

So about a day and a half in the brine? Seems like a long time.
