    never mind I found it in my Food notes:

    Pork Butt Brine - Yukon Ron

    Before trimming, place pork butt in freezer for 20-30 mins to make it easier to trim.

    On a scale, place your container and set the scale to zero then add 12 oz of pickling salt. ZERO THE SCALE AGAIN, then add 8 oz of molasses. Then add 4 quarts of water. Whisk until completely blended. 

    whisking does not take long just a few minutes...maybe 5....and make sure you scrape and incorporate all off the bottom.


    for pork tenderloins:

    I see no reason that you couldn't cut it down. An easy reduction would be 1/4 batch.

    3 Ounces salt

    2 Ounces molasses

    1 Quart water
