How to Make Orange Thyme Marinade

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons orange juice concentrate, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tablespoon grated orange zest, and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves.
  2. Add 1/2 cup of the marinade to your choice of protein (pork, chicken, or shrimp) and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting during cooking. For best results, do not use marinade that has been in contact with raw meat for basting purposes, unless you bring the marinade to a boil for at least 1 minute before basting.
