Savory Thoughts: I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. – Nelson Mandela

Today, instead of sharing an actual food recipe with you, I am sharing with you another one of my favorite spices to make at home, aside from my Haitian Epis (Haitian Base Seasoning). This Jamaican Jerk Seasoning is made with ingredient or spices that were already in my spice drawer and pantry.

 Why Does This Jamaican Jerk Seasoning Work? 

It is a good way to use spices that has been sitting for a long time.

Better than store-bought version as it is homemade. 

You can omit or reduce the level of heat in this blend.

Time and time again, if I want to spice things up with my food or looking for a different flavor, I would prepare this mix. To be honest, I even love it with Salmon, which I will share with you in a future post. I like it really spicy, so I often double the cayenne pepper measurement.

There are principle ingredients that go into a jerk seasoning blend. You must have allspice, hot peppers, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg. To balance out the flavors, variations of sweet flavors are added, such as brown sugar. Honey, pineapple or mango is added if you are making a wet version. During the summer I like to prepare the wet version as it is great when grilling meat.
