Dry Jerk Seasoning Mix

Now that summer grilling season is almost here, I decided to put one of my favorite recipes here. It is especially good on chicken and pork, but also can be used when grilling fish or vegetables.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 5
• Yields: 5 T.

Ingredients

• 1  tablespoon  minced  dry onion
• 1  tablespoon onion powder
• 2  teaspoons  ground thyme
• 2  teaspoons salt
• 1  teaspoon ground allspice
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2  teaspoons sugar
• 1  teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1  teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

1. Mix all ingredients together. Store leftovers in a tightly closed glass jar. It will keep its pungency for over a month.
2. To convert this recipe for use as either a marinade (thinner) or a rub (thicker), add a mixture of 2 parts soy sauce to 1 part cider vinegar to jerk mix until desired consistency is reached.
