Jammin' Jamaican Jerk Sauce
You can prepare it on many types of meat including seafood. Everyone loves jerk chicken! You can use it as a dipping sauce as well. See the note below.
1/2 c olive oil
2 Tbsp thyme - I use fresh
1 bunch scallions, chopped
1 inch thick ginger, chopped
6-8 cloves garlic, chopped
3 medium brown onions
6 scotch bonnet peppers or jalapenos, sliced
2 Tbsp allspice, ground
1 Tbsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp nutmeg, ground
2 stick cinnamon, broken
1/2 c soy sauce
1 c orange juice
1 c white vinegar
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
2 Tbsp sugar

Puree the ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth.
Rub the sauce on chicken, pork, fish, tofu, shrimp or red meat, and marinate the protein overnight; any leftover sauce will keep for weeks in the refrigerator.

NOTE: For all meat, except seafood, marinade overnight. Seafood can marinate for 30 mins. Can bake or grill... Meat may turn a very dark color, this is normal not burned... Save some for basting and dipping! Try marinating chicken legs and thighs for 8 hours - bake or grill - so good! Add rice and fried plantains - you've got a Jamaican meal!
