Not at all! I'm about to make peach cobbler, so I actually have the book right next to me. This is a recipe for a 12-14 turkey, so adjust the amounts based on your bird size. 2 quarts apple juice 1 lb brown sugar 1 cup kosher salk 3 quarts water 3 oranges, quartered 4 oz fresh ginger sliced thin 15 whole cloves 6 bay leaves 6 large crushed garlic cloves Combine apple juice, brown sugar, and salt in a large sauce pan. Bring to a boil and stir to dissolve salt and sugar. Boil 1 minute and bring to room temp. Once room temp, add remaining ingredients. Brine in fridge for 24 hours. They don't say
