can't find maple brine recipe

[matt1124]

Last thanksgiving I smoked a turkey that I brined with a recipe I found on here. I have searched all over and can't seem to find it. All I can remember is that is had a 2oz of maple extract in it. I guess it got lost back when we were down for a few weeks. Does anybody have it written down somewhere? Thanks!

This is one I just googled. Sounds pretty good to me.

Ingredients:

• 4 quarts water
• 2 cups dark brown sugar
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 1 cup maple syrup
• 3/4 cup sea salt
• 8-10 whole cloves garlic, peeled
• 6-8 whole bay leaves
• 3 large sprigs of thyme
• 2 teaspoons whole peppercorns

Preparation:

Place all ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil, dissolving sugar and maple syrup. Remove from heat and allow brine to cool completely before using.

I don't have that en, but when I wan't maple flavour in mine I just add in maple extract or I use a powdered maple. Both work real well.

3/4 cup kosher salt
1 cup dark brown sugar
3 cups apple cider
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup worchestershire sauce
1 oz maple flavoring

2 tbsp ground black pepper
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 cup dry minced onion
2 bay leaves
2 tbsp italian seasoning
