Jamaican Jerk Seasoning

Jerk is a style of cooking native to Jamaica in which meat is dry-rubbed or wet marinated with a very hot spice mixture called Jamaican jerk spice and then grilled under a fire, including allspice branches. Jerk seasoning is traditionally applied to pork and chicken. Modern recipes also apply jerk spice mixes to fish, shrimp, shellfish, beef, sausage, lamb, vegetables, and tofu. Try a twist on pizza and make it with Jamaican jerk chicken and pineapple.
