All of these marinades may also be used for basting. Make extra, and set aside, to brush on while the food is cooking. Try them on your favorite meats, seafood, and vegetables.

For each marinade, simply combine all the ingredients, mix well, set aside some for basting, if desired, then pour the rest over the food to marinate. Also, try preparing the marinade a day ahead of time and storing it in the fridge to letthe flavors combine.
