This is a very delicious Jamaican Jerk Sauce recipe. Jerk Sauce or Marinade is not very popular in Trinidad, at least not when I was growing up.
The first time I had anything with Jerk was in New York, the flavor was exceptionally different to my palate except for the spiciness of it, I used to buy the jerk seasoning in the supermarket, but now I make my own. Lots of trials and error, but now I think I have a good recipe here. So, play with this recipe and make it your own, add more salt or you can even add some cilantro for a more robust flavor. DO YAH THING or just use as is.
Happy Sauce Making!
