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 (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: Different marinades are suitable for different types of meat and vegetables. Acidic marinades (such as those made with vinegar or citrus juice) are good for tenderizing tough cuts of meat, while oil-based marinades (such as those made with olive oil or yogurt) are good for adding flavor and moisture.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients in your marinade, the better the flavor will be.
- Marinate for the right amount of time: The length of time you marinate your food will depend on the type of food and the marinade you are using. Generally, meats should be marinated for at least 30 minutes, while vegetables can be marinated for a shorter amount of time.
- Don't over-marinate: Over-marinating can make your food tough and dry.
- Use a covered container: When marinating food, always use a covered container to prevent bacteria from growing.
- Discard the marinade: After marinating, always discard the marinade. Do not reuse it, as it may contain harmful bacteria.
Conclusion:
Marinating is a great way to add flavor and moisture to your food. By following these tips, you can create delicious marinades that will take your cooking to the next level.
