I’d known as soon as Sammy first walked me through his process that this wasn’t the sort of recipe I could transcribe, fold up, and stash away for safekeeping. He’d made the dish on so many occasions that each step was second nature: an inkling that more scallion, garlic, or Scotch bonnet was needed, a sniff test confirming the salt, heat, and herbage was balanced to his liking. A great tip is to mix a small amount of jerk seasoning into mayonnaise to really spice up your hamburger and sandwiches The amount of sodium in spice blends will depend upon the ingredients and precise measurements used. Walkerswood mild jerk seasoning is a Caribbean paste made from fragrant spices and fiery scotch bonnet peppers. Use it as a marinade for meat or fish and let the aroma of allspice and pimento transport you to the paradise island of Jamaica. For an authentic Caribbean feast, cook your marinated meat on the barbecue and serve with rice and peas and fried plantain.

The cooking technique of jerking, as well as the results it produces, has evolved over time from using pit fires to old oil barrel halves as the containing vessel of choice. [16] Around the 1960s, Caribbean entrepreneurs seeking to recreate the smoked pit flavor by an easier, more portable method came up with a solution to cut oil barrels lengthwise and attach hinges, drilling several ventilation holes for the smoke. [16] These barrels are fired with charcoal, which enhances the spicy, smoky taste. Alternatively, when these cooking methods are unavailable, other methods of meat smoking, including wood-burning ovens, can be used to jerk meat. However, oil barrels are arguably one of the most popular cooking methods for making jerk in Jamaica. Most jerk in Jamaica is no longer cooked in the traditional method and is grilled over hardwood charcoal in a steel drum "jerk pan". [11] Jerk stands along Highway A1
