Jamaican Jerk Sauce
½ cup ground allspice berries (an electric coffee grinder works great for this)
½ + cup packed brown sugar
4 - 6+ garlic bulbs
4 - 6+ Habanero peppers (remove seeds if you're a whimp)
1 tablespoon ground thyme or 2 tablespoons thyme leaves
2 bunches scallions (green onions, w/tops)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½-¾ cup soy sauce to moisten (thick paste consistency)
2+ tabelspoons kosher or canning salt
Peel garlic. Put everything in a food processor and blend until smooth.
You may use allspice berries, if available, but use enough to give the equivalent of 1/2 cup ground.
Keep this sauce refrigerated and it will keep forever.
Feel free to increase items with "+", particularly the habaneros and/or garlic.
Apply mixture liberally to chicken, pork, or fish & allow to sit overnight. (Slip some under the chicken skin).
Excess may be wiped off for a milder flavor before grilling or smoking.
Grill over a slow fire or smoke in the 180° to 220°f range.
Add a few tablespoons to your brine before smoking ribs or fish.
A couple teaspoons added to hamburger will do wonders.
