Yes, there are a lot of ingredients. But if you've ever had lackluster jerk before, you will understand that this is very necessary. Not to brag (I say as I shamelessly toot my own horn) but I made this for my own birthday, and when my extraordinarily talented at baking friend brought his own less ingrediented version in a hilarious attempt to show me up, everyone agreed that mine were a million times better. Even him. Extremely grudgingly. Best b-day present ever.
Jerk marinade
4 large cloves garlic
5 scallions, cut into 1/2 in pieces
2 habanero, 1/2 in pieces
1 inch piece of ginger, cut in half
2 TB fresh thyme
1 TB cilantro
2 TB white vinegar
2 TB orange juice
1 TB oil (canola or something light)
1 TB brown sugar
1-2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
opt:
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cumin
1/8 tsp coriander
1/8 tsp cinnamon
Blend all dat shit up in a blender (or magic bullet, or food processor). Marinate at LEAST 1 hour, preferably overnight.
