Title: Pork Seasoning
Post by: hughver on June 27, 2024, 12:33:20 PM: I prepared a couple of pork tenderloins yesterday and tried a new to me, seasoning. It was Weber's Honey Garlic. IMHO, it was very good and may well be my go-to seasoning for pork from now on.

If you have some crystalized honey you can make your own. I bought an 8 oz. bag at the same time I bought the Weber rub.

That sounds like a good idea, let us know how it turns out.

I find a coat of maple syrup works wonders (no marinade): or if not available, brown sugar.

The cook: Smoke @ 250º 1 HR. Then cook @ 325º, 30 to 45 Min to a 140º done temp.
