ALL PURPOSE HAWAIIAN MARINADE
I originally concocted this recipe for a party I hostessed. I used it on chicken thighs and legs, but since then, I've tried it beef and pork, as well. I also think it would be awesome on tuna steaks or shrimp! I've also used Pineapple Coconut Juice and it's EXCELLENT. Enough for 3 lbs meat of choice.

ALL PURPOSE MARINADE/MOP/DIPPING SAUCE
This is a Chef Paul recipe. Very versatile! The marinade is great for brisket. Just reserve some, add some beer and you've got a good mop. Reserve some more, add a few ingredients and you've got a good dipping or BBQ sauce. Cooking time does not include the marinating time or the time to cook the brisket. This is primarily a recipe for the marinade.

Steps:
- Mix everything except bourbon in a saucepan, bring to a boil, simmer afor a minute or two.
- Cool and add the bourbon.
- This should be enough to marinade a brisket in it's cryovac packaging. Snip off a corner of the cryovac just large enough to insert the tip of a funnel. Drain out any blood, and carefully pour the marinade inches Reseal the packaging (I use duct tape), place in a pan (just in case), and refridgerate one or two days.
- Drain and reserve the marinade.
- Put the brisket in the smoker. For instructions on how to smoke a brisket, see my Real Texas Brisket recipe#152445.
- For the mop: Measure 1 cup of reserved marinade and set aside. Put the rest of the marinade in a large saucepan and boil for about 5 minutes. Cool slightly, Strain, if using a spray bottle, and add in the beer. If you strain out the solids, you can add them back to the marinade reserved for the sauce, for a little extra zip.
- Mop every half an hour, up to every hour, as your pit requires.
- For the sauce: Put the ingredients in a large saucepan, bring to a boil, and simmer until thick. I roasted the garlic and onion in my pit while smoking the beef, added it to the sauce later, and then simmered it for another half an hour or so. Pour the sauce into the blender and process until smooth. If it's too thick, add some of the mop. Serve warm.
'ALL PURPOSE' MARINADE (ESPECIALLY NICE USED WITH BEEF)
This is a very versatile marinade and is especially nice used with the many different cuts of beef. Used as a basic marinade for meat, it can be so easily adapted to be used with lamb or pork, eg. add chopped fresh mint and perhaps some honey, if using with lamb, or grated fresh ginger if using with Pork.

Tips:
- Choose the right marinade for your dish. Consider the flavors of the meat, fish, or vegetables you're marinating, as well as the cooking method you'll be using.
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh herbs, spices, and citrus juices will give your marinade the best flavor.
- Don't overdo it. Marinating for too long can toughen meat and vegetables. A few hours is usually sufficient, but you can marinate for up to 24 hours if you're using a mild marinade.
- Use a non-reactive container. Glass, stainless steel, or ceramic containers are best for marinating. Avoid using aluminum or iron containers, as they can react with the marinade and alter the flavor of your food.
- Cover the food completely. Make sure the marinade completely covers the food you're marinating. This will ensure that all parts of the food are evenly flavored.
- Refrigerate the marinade. Always marinate food in the refrigerator, not at room temperature. This will help to prevent the growth of bacteria.
- Discard the marinade after use. Never reuse a marinade that has been used to marinate raw meat or fish. This can spread bacteria and make you sick.
Conclusion:
Marinating is a great way to add flavor and moisture to your food. With a little planning, you can create a delicious marinade that will enhance the flavor of your next meal. So next time you're cooking, don't forget to marinate your food!
