Yearly throw out the old and great excuse to buy more right?? I forgot to place the extra turkey I bought over Thanksgiving back in the freezer so time for it to go in my belly. Caribbean style smoked bird today. I brined it with apple cider, salt, sugar, and a jar of my habanero sauce I got and some spices. I'm taking it out of the brine at 5 tonight, need to make the glazing liquid and off to the smoker. Should be finished tomorrow morning just in time to bring it to work and eat and watch the games!!
The habanero sauce is a vinegar based sauce with sugar and a crap load of those lovely orange peppers
The rub will be this:
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 teaspoon crushed dried hot pepper
1 teaspoon dried chives
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
The liquid use will be:
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup lime juice
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 bunch cilantro, leaves chopped
4 green onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 Scotch bonnet
3 bay leaves
3 peppercorns
1-inch piece cinnamon, crushed
2 tablespoons ground sage
1 tablespoon ground thyme
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
