Jamaican Jerk SeasoningIt is not hard to tell where we get  “full of flavor” when we describe our cooking!  This seasoning blend can be added to give a punch to your favorite entree.  You may want to gather the spices and make a batch because you will see it soon in future posts.

Store in an airtight container.

When I get ready to use the spice blend, I often finely dice Scotch Bonnet Chillies.

Scotch Bonnet Peppers

They will add a fresh twist and plenty of heat.  One tablespoon is all you will need to add to a recipe.  Whenever dicing hot peppers always be sure to protect your hands. I use gloves to dice and seed.  Keep skin contact to a minimum.  I wipe down my cutting board and then remove the gloves when finished.

My favorite thing to do with this spice blend is to make a marinade.

  • 1/3 c. liquid aminos ( you can substitute soy sauce)
  • 1/2 c. honey

And…….a sauce to brush on to meat when we BBQ

    Might be better to say this is Jamaican inspired…..certainly not Jamaican as Fennel is not used in Jamaican cuisine!
