Enjoy the intense flavor of the Caribbean with this aromatic jerk rub. Jerk gets its name from an original Jamaican cooking style called “jerking,” where holes are poked into meat so that the seasoning flavors can knit together more thoroughly with the meat, providing a dish with complexity and dimension. It’s a traditional spice blend with sweet and smokey notes that is used in all sorts of Caribbean dishes. An assortment of chiles, including cayenne and habaneros, give this blend just the right amount of heat to add zip to your jerk recipes.
