Smoked Pork Loin With Calvados Honey Glaze
This is a very simple smoked pork loin recipe. You can sometimes go overboard with trying to add more flavors to meat yet other times it's best just to go back to basics. So here you have my smoked pork variation on roast pork with apple sauce.
Rather than using apple sauce I've plumped for an apple flavored glaze using Calvados – Apple brandy from Normandy, France. To further add apple flavor I've chosen to go with Apple wood chips.
You can brine your pork joint before hand to help keep the moisture in but on this occasion I've gone for a water bath and then basted the meat with the Calvados apple brandy glaze every hour or so.
Ingredients:-
1 pork loin approx 2kg or 4½ pounds
Salt and Pepper
My Calvados Honey Glaze
Method:-
There's really nothing to preparing the pork but other than to season well with salt and pepper because the flavor is in the glaze and the wood chips. Set your smoker up at 110ºC or 225ºF and cook for about 6 hours.
