Directions
- The best homemade Jamaican Jerk Marinade
- In a blender or food processor, add all the fresh seasonings as well as the dry jerk seasoning. For the scotch bonnets, 2 green, 3 ripe. Leave green ones whole and remove seeds from ripened peppers for a mild marinade. Leave all seeds and membranes in for more spice. Add more salt if you want it more salty. Adding the dry jerk seasoning to the marinade will ensure that you have a complete marinade that has all the other notes missing from the fresh herbs. The dry seasoning includes cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and allspice, just to name a few. The marinade when created in this way is a one-and-done for any dish that you would like to add this flavor to.
