APPLE SMOKED PORK LOIN



Apple Smoked Pork Loin image

In less than three hours time a luscious smoked pork loin can be prepared and served to your hungry guests. Instead of smoking for hours and hours until the pork is falling apart tender, the pork loin is smoked until it just reaches the stage of medium done...about 155 degrees Fahrenheit. A whole pork loin is one of two strips of meat that lie on each side of the porker's backbone. Many folks confuse the loin with the tenderloin. The difference is that the loin is on the outer side of the body cavity...the tenderloin is on the inside. The tenderloin is smaller and more tender than the loin. However, the loin is still pretty darned tender. And less expensive, too.

Categories     Pork

Time 2h20m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
4 -6 lbs whole pork loin

Steps:

  • This recipe begins with a light dry rub seasoning, continues with some apple wood smoke flavor, and ends with a tasty apple-cinnamon sauce.
  • Begin by removing all of the membrane (silver skin) and excess fat from the outside of the pork loin. Rub the loin with olive oil, then lightly season it with a bit of this dry rub mixture.
  • Smoke the loin (using apple wood) at 225 degrees Fahrenheit for two to three hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees. Remove the smoked pork loin to a platter, covering lightly with foil and a kitchen towel. Let it rest for fifteen minutes before serving with the apple cinnamon sauce.
  • Apple Cinnamon Sauce.
  • Finely chop two large or three medium sweet apples (Fuji or Gala are great varieties for this) and place in a saucepan. Add one tablespoon sugar, one-half teaspoon each of cinnamon, paprika, salt and white pepper, and two tablespoons rice wine vinegar. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat, then lower to a simmer. Cook gently until the apples are tender.
  • Slice the smoked pork loin and top with a spoonful of the sauce.

SMOKED PORK LOIN BACK RIBS RECIPE



Smoked Pork Loin Back Ribs Recipe image

Provided by kathya5084

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 rack of Pork Loin Back Ribs
yellow mustard
Favorite rib rub, homemade or bought
1/4 cup apple juice
1/4 cup barbeque sauce (I like Sweet Baby Ray's)

Steps:

  • Day before: Remove membrane on underside. Removal makes the ribs more tender and allows penetration of the seasoning and smoke. Using a butter knife, start at the small end of the slab and pry-up part of the membrane. Grasp the membrane with a paper towel and pull it off toward the wide end of the slab. The membrane on loin back ribs may shred when pulled off, so you may have to pry up a few remaining bits and pull them off. Rub mustard over ribs, generously sprinkle rib rub all over ribs - front and back. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Actual cooking time is 6 hours. Allow additional 10 minutes for foiling and saucing ribs. Set smoker to 225 - 228 degrees. Preheat to temperature. If you have vents, set to 1/2 open. Add wood chips and let smoke for a few minutes. Place ribs in a rib rack on smoker rack with a drip pan underneath. I use a foil lasagna pan. I also cut my ribs in half, they are easier to maneuver. Smoke the ribs for 3 hours adding wood chips when needed. (I smoke 2 batches of chips. For smokier flavor, smoke longer) After 3 hours remove the ribs from the rack and set rack aside. Pour 1/4 cup of apple juice in foil lasagna pan, add ribs and cover tightly with foil. Cook for 3 more hours. Remove the ribs from the foil pan and place back in rib rack. Brush with barbeque sauce and place the ribs back into smoker. (I put the rack and ribs back in the foil pan). Cook uncovered 1 hour. Remove and serve with bbq sauce, if desired. Ribs - 550 calories per 1/2 rack Sauce - 70 calories per 1/2 rack

SMOKED PORK LOIN WITH DRIED FRUIT CHUTNEY RECIPE



Smoked Pork Loin with Dried Fruit Chutney Recipe image

Provided by MooK

Number Of Ingredients 19

Pork
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup Kosher salt
1 (3 1/2- to 4-pound) blade-end boneless pork loin roast, trimmed
2 cups wood chips
1 disposable 13 by 9-inch aluminum roasting pan, (if using charcoal) or 1 (9-inch) disposable aluminum pie plate (if using gas)
Chutney
3/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup dried apricots, diced
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 shallot, minced
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • FOR THE PORK: Combine sugar and salt in small bowl. Tie roast with twine at 1-inch intervals. Rub sugar-salt mixture over entire surface of roast, making sure roast is evenly coated. Wrap roast tightly in plastic wrap, set roast in rimmed baking sheet, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to 24 hours. Just before grilling, soak wood chips in water for 15 minutes, then drain. Using large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, wrap soaked chips in 8 by 4 1/2-inch foil packet. (Make sure chips do not poke holes in sides or bottom of packet.) Cut 2 evenly spaced 2-inch slits in top of packet. FOR A CHARCOAL GRILL: Open bottom vent halfway. Arrange 25 unlit charcoal briquettes over half of grill and place disposable pan filled with 3 cups water on other side of grill. Light large chimney starter two-thirds filled with charcoal briquettes (4 quarts). When top coals are partially covered with ash, pour evenly over unlit briquettes. Place wood chip packet on coals. Set cooking grate in place, cover, and open lid vent halfway. Heat grill until hot and wood chips are smoking, about 5 minutes. FOR A GAS GRILL: Remove cooking grate and place wood chip packet directly on primary burner. Place disposable pie plate filled with 1 inch water directly on other burner(s). Set grate in place, turn all burners to high, cover, and heat grill until hot and wood chips are smoking, about 15 minutes. Turn primary burner to medium and turn off other burner(s). (Adjust primary burner as needed to maintain grill temperature of 300 degrees.) Clean and oil cooking grate. Unwrap roast and pat dry with paper towels. Place roast on grill directly over water pan about 7 inches from heat source. Cover (position lid vent over roast if using charcoal) and cook until meat registers 140 degrees, 1 1/2 to 2 hours, rotating roast 180 degrees after 45 minutes. FOR THE CHUTNEY: Combine wine, apricots, cherries, vinegar, water, sugar, shallot, and ginger in medium saucepan. Bring to simmer over medium heat. Cover and cook until fruit is softened, 10 minutes. Remove lid and reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter, Dijon, and dry mustard and continue to cook until slightly thickened, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and season with salt. Transfer to bowl and let stand at room temperature. 6. Transfer roast to cutting board, tent with foil, and let stand for 30 minutes. Remove and discard twine. Slice roast 1/4 inch thick and serve with chutney.

Tips:

  • Choose a pork loin roast that is at least 3 pounds, with a good layer of fat.
  • If you don't have a smoker, you can cook the pork loin in the oven at 275 degrees Fahrenheit for about 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Be sure to brine the pork loin for at least 12 hours before cooking. This will help to keep it moist and juicy.
  • Use a good quality rub for the pork loin. This will help to give it a delicious flavor.
  • Smoke the pork loin for at least 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork loin rest for at least 10 minutes before carving. This will help to keep the juices in the meat.
  • Serve the pork loin with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or coleslaw.

Conclusion:

Smoked pork loin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your smoked pork loin turns out perfect every time.
