What Is Jerk Seasoning Made From?
Jerk seasoning is a blend of spices and herbs that is commonly used in Jamaican cuisine. It typically consists of ingredients such as allspice, thyme, cinnamon, nutmeg, garlic, onion, scallions, ginger, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Other common additions may include Scotch bonnet peppers, citrus juice, soy sauce, and vinegar. The ingredients are ground together to form a dry rub or paste that is used to season meats, poultry, fish, and vegetables.
