Jerk Sauce

-4-12 habaneros stemmed and cut in half
-1 medium onion , coarsely chopped
-1/2 C coarsely chopped shallots
-2 bunches of chives or scallions trimmed and coarsely chopped
-4 cloves garlic coarsely chopped
-1/2 C coarsely chopped parsley
-2 tsp chopped fresh ginger
-2 TBS coarse salt
-1 TBS fresh thyme or 1 1/2 tsp dried thyme
-2 tsp ground allspice
-1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
-1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
-1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
-1/4 tsp ground cloves
-1/4 C fresh lime juice
-1/4 C vegetable oil
-1/4 C packed dark brown sugar
-2 TBS soy sauce
-1/4 C cold water or more if needed

Combine chilies, onion, shallots, chives, garlic, parsley, cilantro, ginger, salt, thyme and spices in processor and process to a coarse paste. Add remaining ingredients including water 1 TBS at a time, processing to mix into a thick, spreadable paste. I poke the meat with a skewer then rub the paste onto the meat. Keep in a glass container in the fridge or vacuum pack it. I find vacuum packing works best. Allow it to marinate for at least 12 hours then grill. Enjoy with some natty reggae or ska, mon!! I recommend The Specials, The English Beat or Desmond Dekker and the Aces.

Headed to the store tomorrow to gather the goodies to make this recipe this weekend.
Thanks Mike

As you can tell by the habanero ingredient, milder is four, professional taste buds will use 12. It is REALLY good!

So you use 38 habby's right Mike?

14 Carolina Reapers!! ��

Our friend Jack Remington of Remington’s Restaurant would “spice up” my jambalaya with a Carolina Reaper sauce.

I had some right bumpin jambalaya at I think it’s called Gin’s up there in your neck of the woods Friday night ! Right surprising food for what I thought was a regular old PA beer joint :whistle:

Few years back I’d grow my own jalapeños and habeneros. I’d take them to work uncooked and eat a couple with lunch and of course bring a few extra if someone wanted to try one . Five of us were eating lunch and a little Mexican girl came over to our table and asked if she could try one of the peppers , she chose a small orange habenero . She bit half of it off and swallowed it then almost immediately turned and said we were F..cking CRAZY to eat those things LOL’s and I thought Mexican folks liked hot food :rotf::rotf::rotf:

Years ago when I was working construction in the family business, I grew some habaneros. I took a few to work one day and decided to mess with the roofers. I told the one guy that they were dwarf sweet bell peppers. He took one, pulled the stem off and chomped it down. Not only did our crew get a good laugh but we were pointing and laughing as his eyes were sweating profusely!! 😂😂😂 Good times, good times.

If you like this Jamaican Jerk sauce and you're really nice, I can share my Cincinnatti Chili recipe. Just sayin'. :whistle:

I just cannot eat those hot peppers but my dad would have loved those hot peppers....you boys better order a picture of ice water to put that fire out....charlie
