Caribbean Jerk Seasoning

Description

Caribbean jerk seasoning is perfect for adding a spicy kick to your signature dishes. This jerk seasoning is primarily used in the preparation of grilled meat.

In Jamaica, jerk chicken is famous for its pungent marinade, marked by allspice and Scotch bonnet peppers, which are like habanero chili peppers.
