Jamaican-inspired jerk rub spices up any dish with bold and zesty flavors for a taste of the Caribbean at home.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons (12g) ground allspice
  • 2 teaspoons (5g) ground cloves
  • 2 teaspoons (5g) ground cinnamon, or a 5-inch cinnamon stick
  • 2 teaspoons (5g) ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon (3g) ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon (3g) ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon (3g) paprika
  • 1 tablespoon (6g) dried, ground Scotch bonnet
  • 1 tablespoon (9g) onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon (9g) garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon (16g) salt
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) cane sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (7g) dried thyme
Instructions:
  • For a richer flavor, take the time to toast and grind the whole cloves, cinnamon, black peppercorns, and allspice: In a dry skillet over medium-low heat, toast the allspice, cloves, cinnamon stick, and black peppercorns until fragrant and crackling, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer the toasted spices to a bowl to cool, then grind them in a spice grinder until fine.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all the spices. Use a whisk or fork to break up any clumps of seasonings or sugar until the mixture is evenly colored.
  • Transfer the spice blend to a glass jar using a funnel or a folded paper to guide the spices into the jar smoothly.
  • Store: Keep the jerk seasoning in a cool, dark, moisture-free place, like your kitchen cupboard rather than on a spice rack on your counter, for optimal freshness. Use within 6 months for the best flavor.
  • Coat meat with a light layer of oil or butter, then generously rub seasoning all over. Remember to rate and leave a comment if you enjoyed the dish!
