Jerk Seasoning

Jerk seasoning is a flavorful Caribbean spice blend traditionally used to marinate meats like chicken and pork before grilling or roasting. It typically combines ingredients such as allspice, thyme, Scotch bonnet peppers, garlic, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and various herbs and spices. The seasoning provides a distinctive smoky, spicy, and aromatic flavor profile, often associated with jerk-style cooking. It can be used as a rub or marinade, imparting a complex taste that balances heat, sweetness, and herbal notes. Jerk seasoning is versatile and widely appreciated for its bold, vibrant flavor characteristic of Caribbean cuisine.
