Citrus Marinade

1/2 cup orange juice,
2 tablespoons white vinegar,

Answer 4

If you have never tried Hawaiian red salt, now's the time! Let's say a 2-3 pound pork loin, sprinkle/rub in the salt(a little goes a long way, don't overdo it!), some garlic powder, Pepper (a mixture of black and green if possible), wrap in some banana leaves and put on the grill over about 250 degree heat(indirect heat so leaves won't burn) for about 2 hours....remove leaves and eat....Yummy!

Answer 5

For a quick and easy marinade try Kraft Zesty Italian salad dressing. It's delicious as a marinade.

Soy Sauce
2 cloves of fresh garlic, finely minced

MIx everything together in a big ziploc bag and let marinate for a few hours and then grill it.
These flavors go really well with pork.

Hope this helps, ENJOY!

I used a lemon pepper bottled mariande on ours last week. It was okay but I preferred to use a little olive oil, and stuff garlic and rosemary into small holes that I make then pepper the whole thing and put it on the BBQ.
