Fair warning, this jerk blend is spicy. When a non-pepperhead friend gave it a try they lamented between bites that it’s so so good, I can’t stop eating this damn chicken but@##%& it hurts…it hurts so bad. We took that as a ringing endorsement. We use dried habanero to bring the heat, but back the peppers up with an aromatic blend of scallions, thyme, garlic, black peppercorns, coriander seeds, allspice, salt, lime juice powder, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon & bay leaf for incredible flavour. The habanero has a wonderful fruitiness in additional to the burn, which fades quickly into a background simmer after every bite. We’d put it in the medium-high to high heat range on a scale. We’ve kept this as a dry rub for safer shipping & longer storage but that certainly doesn’t mean it has to stay that way. This rub can easily converted to a sauce or marinade with the addition of some peanut or olive oil - about 3 tablespoons per 60 grams of spices should do the trick. If you’re grilling & want to create the sweetened char characteristic of many barbecue sauces, add a bit of brown sugar to the mix. It’s a natural fit for pork, chicken & shrimp.
