• 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns, lightly crushed
• 10 medium garlic cloves, peeled and lightly crushed

Instructions:

• In a large, wide pan or bowl, dissolve the sugar and salt in 3 cups of hot water
• Add the Bay leaves, Allspice, peppercorns, garlic and 5 cups of cold water; stir to combine
• Add the pork loin to the brine and cover the container with plastic wrap
• Refrigerate 12-24 hours
