I know there have been a lot of recent posts regarding brining, but I am looking for some new ideas in brining recipes. I have been using a basic brine of sea salt and brown sugar. Post your favirtie recipe here for all to see.

Char Dawg,[p]Here's one a lot of Eggers use:[p]"It Came From the Brine"[p]
1 Turkey
2 cups kosher salt
2 T dried rosemary
2 T dried thyme
2 T dried sage
1 T dried marjoram
1 T celery seeds
1 T black peppercorns
1 medium onion chopped
1 medium carrot chopped
1 rib celery chopped[p]For the brine container, I use my turkey frying pot lined with 2 plastic garbage bags (the aluminum will react with the salt).[p]Place 2 gallons of cold water in your brine container. Add all ingredients down to the peppercorns and stir to dissolve salt and herbs as much as possible. Place turkey in brine and add water to completely cover if needed. Cover and refrigerate for 24-48 hours. You can probably regulate the saltiness by adjusting the brine time for your taste after you have done one or two. Remove the turkey from the brine, rinse well under cold water, and then pat dry inside and out before cooking. Place an onion, a carrot, and a stalk of celery in the turkey cavity and cook at your normal time and temps.
