Jammin' Jamaican Jerk Sauce image

If you have ever had jerk chicken you know it has a bit of heat. This sauce has all the flavors you would expect with quite the kick. Serve with rice and fried plantains and your guests will think they're at a Jamaican restaurant. It takes a little planning to allow your protein to marinate, but it's worth it.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 c olive oil
2 Tbsp thyme - I use fresh
1 bunch scallions, chopped
1 inch thick ginger, chopped
6-8 clove garlic, chopped
3 medium brown onions
6 scotch bonnet peppers or jalapenos, sliced
2 Tbsp allspice, ground
1 Tbsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp nutmeg, ground
2 stick cinnamon, broken
1/2 c soy sauce
1 c orange juice
1 c white vinegar
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
2 Tbsp sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Puree the ingredients listed below in a food processor or blender until smooth.
  • 2. Rub the sauce on chicken, pork, fish, tofu, shrimp or red meat, and marinate the protein overnight; any leftover sauce will keep for weeks in the refrigerator.
  • 3. NOTE: For all meat, except seafood, marinade overnight. Seafood can marinade for 30 mins. Can bake or grill... Meat may turn a very dark color, this is normal not burned... Save some for basting and dipping!
  • 4. ***Note*** If you are not a fan of the flavor that Olive Oil has, then you can substitute the olive oil for Canola oil.
