• Mix all of the marinade ingredients together. Combine with selected meat and marinade for 2 to 24 hours. This is enough marinade for 1 to 1 1/2 pounds of meat.
• Remove meat from marinade, draining excess liquid.
• Cook as desired. Grilling (indoor or outdoor) or broiling suggested.

GINGER MARINADE FOR CHICKEN

Steps:

• Blend salt, ginger, pepper, garlic, oil, & lemon juice in a bowl.
• Take a skewer (preferably) or sharp knife & poke several holes into the chicken.
• Rub the mixture into the chicken so that all sides are covered.
• Place chicken into a glass bowl & cover with the remaining mixture. Let it marinate for at least 2 hours.
• Cook the chicken either baked, broiled, or grilled. All are good.

MOLASSES-GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Whisk together the molasses, vinegar, honey, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper until combined. Remove 1 cup of this mixture to use for basting later. Pour the remaining marinade into a resealable plastic bag, and add the pork tenderloin. Coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Remove the pork tenderloin from marinade, and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade. Cook on preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes, basting occasionally with the 1 cup of reserved marinade.
