Brine: In a large saucepan over high heat, combine water, salt, garlic, lemon, sage and peppercorns; bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and allow the brine to come to room temperature. Refrigerate uncovered until cold. Submerge the pork in the brine; refrigerate 6 to 8 hours. Basting Sauce: Combine all basting sauce ingredients in container. Mix well. Set aside. Pork: Remove pork from the brine, discarding the brine. Rinse the pork well; pat dry with paper towels. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour before cooking. Brush both sides of pork with vegetable oil. Grill over hot coals on both sides, basting often, until an internal temperature of 160° F, about 10 minutes. Remove from grill; cover with aluminum foil and let rest for 15 minutes. Yield: 4 servings. |
