Steps:
- Whisk together the ingredients for (one) marinade in a small bowl until combined.
- Combine marinade with pork in a ziplock freezer bag, and toss until the pork is evenly coated in the marinade. Carefully press out any extra air that might be in the bag, then seal. (You will need 1/2 cup marinade per 1 pound of pork.)
- Refrigerate the pork pack(s) for anywhere from 30 minutes to up to 1 day.
- Immediately transfer the pork pack(s) to the freezer, and freeze for up to 3 months. Then when you're ready to cook the pork, transfer the pork pack back to the refrigerator for 24 hours, or until it has thawed completely. Or to speed up the process, you can submerge the sealed pork pack in a bowl of cold water in the refrigerator until it has thawed completely.
- When ready to cook, remove the pork from the marinade, discard the remaining marinade, and cook however you prefer. (See recommendations below.)
DELICIOUS PORK MARINADE
This recipe was given to me by a good friend, during a recipe swap. It makes your pork chops, or loin, so juicy and delicious, without overpowering the natural flavor. You can marinade as little as 30 minutes, or overnight if you like, for more flavor. I have substituted ingredients more than once, and it is still great.

Tips for Making the Best Pork Marinade
- Use a variety of ingredients. The best pork marinades use a combination of acidic ingredients (like vinegar, citrus juice, or yogurt), flavorful ingredients (like garlic, onion, or herbs), and a touch of sweetness (like honey, brown sugar, or maple syrup).
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are endless possibilities when it comes to creating a pork marinade. Try different combinations of ingredients until you find one that you love.
- Let the pork marinate for at least 30 minutes. The longer the pork marinates, the more flavorful it will be. However, don't marinate the pork for more than 24 hours, or it will become tough.
- Use a covered container. When you're marinating pork, it's important to use a covered container. This will help to keep the marinade from evaporating and ensure that the pork is evenly marinated.
- Refrigerate the pork while it's marinating. Pork should always be marinated in the refrigerator. This will help to prevent the growth of bacteria.
