Marinade for barbecue with apple juice - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of juice if I don't have apple juice?

Yes, you can substitute apple juice with other fruit juices like pineapple juice or pear juice. These alternatives will add a similar sweetness and help tenderize the meat. Avoid citrus juices as they can sometimes make the meat tough if marinated for too long.

What's the best way to ensure the marinade penetrates the meat effectively?

For optimal penetration, use a fork to pierce the meat several times before marinating. Also, ensure the meat is fully submerged in the marinade. Using a resealable bag can help with this.

How long is it safe to marinate meat in the refrigerator?

While the recipe suggests up to 12 hours, you can marinate it for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator. After 24 hours, the acid in the marinade may start to affect the texture of the meat.

Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh greens?

While fresh greens are preferred for their vibrant flavor, you can use dried herbs as a substitute. Use about 1 teaspoon of dried herbs for every tablespoon of fresh greens called for in the recipe.

What types of meat work best with this marinade?

This marinade works exceptionally well with pork, chicken, and beef. It's particularly good for tougher cuts of meat, as the apple juice helps to tenderize them.

Can this marinade be used for grilling vegetables?

Yes, this marinade can add a great flavour to vegetables. Marinate them for a shorter time, about 30 minutes to 1 hour, to prevent them from becoming too soft. Consider using it on bell peppers, onions, or zucchini.

Is the leftover marinade safe to use as a sauce after the meat has been marinating in it?

No, discard the leftover marinade after use to avoid the risk of bacterial contamination. If you want a sauce, reserve some of the marinade before adding the meat, and bring it to a boil before serving.
