Yumm!! I cut the brown sugar and allspice in half, but that;s our taste. The mayo came out a bit watery, so next time I will use OJ concentrate. Other than that, it was quite excellent. Thanks for sharing, and I can't wait to try the jerk sauce on yard bird.

My family LOVES this recipe! This is restaurant quality. Thank you so much for sharing. I have made it several times now. I make only half the orange-chipotle sauce as that seems to be enough for our family, even though it is delicious. I often only make 1/2 the jerk sauce as well for 6-8 burgers. It makes a lot. I do make it pretty much as written, except to use dried thyme (I never remember to buy fresh) & have yet to find a habanero pepper for sale around here. I only adjust the ingredients by 1/2. I like to mix the jerk sauce into the meat before forming into patties, instead of putting it on and waiting 20 min. We also always grill some thick onion slices on the grill at the same time. If you like you can use a little olive oil & salt on the onion before grilling. Sometimes I do, sometimes not. The grilled onions are delicious on these burgers. This is my husband's all time favorite burger recipe & I love them too. Our kids don't eat the sauce as the chipotle's really spice it up, but they love the burgers even with the jalapenos. (hint...the chipotles in adobo I find here to buy come in cans. We freeze flat in a ziplock bag what we don't use & I just pull out the bag and break some lose each I make this recipe. No need to buy a new can each time). This recipe flavor changes each time I make it due to the variance in the heat of the peppers and the adobo. It really does alter the entire taste.

I'll make it on Sat. Everyone complains about how thin the sauce turned out..use your brain..combine the ingredients and slowly sautee them until they are as thick as you desire..or take some of them (while cool), and whisk together with a tsp. of corn starch. Just keep it on the stove, until it's the consistency you desire. I NEVER follow cooking directions. If I think it's not going to be exactly what I want, I up it a knotch..use your noodles, folks....don't complain...add your personal touch to make it what you want it to be.

This buger had great flavor. My wife and I prepared the jerk sauce with less all spice than it calls for and we loves it. The sauce was great!! The sweetness that the truvia added was a nice change and made our mouths water!! The mayo was perfect and we will definatly be adding this to the menu again...

This burger is awesome! I made the mayo and jerk sauce early in the day and by dinner the mayo was not runny anymore. Made exactly as posted and will not change a thing. Thanks for a great recipe!
