Jamaican jerk seasoning

A dry seasoning blend that originated on the Caribbean island after which it’s named, and which is used primarily in the preparation of grilled meat. The ingredients can vary, depending on the cook, but Jamaican jerk blend is generally a combination of chiles, thyme, spices (such as cinnamon, ginger, allspice and cloves), garlic and onions. Jerk seasoning can be either rubbed directly onto meat, or blended with a liquid to create a marinade. In the Caribbean, meats seasoned in this fashion are beef and chicken. Such preparations are referred to as “jerk beef” and “jerk chicken.”
