Special Precautions and Tips:
- Be sure to inject the marinade evenly throughout the pork.
- Let the pork marinate for at least 12 hours, but no longer than 24 hours, as the vinegar in the marinade can start to break down the meat fibers.
- If you don't have a meat injector, you can use a large syringe or a sharp knife to create small holes in the pork and then pour the marinade over the meat.
- This marinade can also be used on other meats, such as chicken, beef, or lamb.
