Well done my friend. I use apple cider vinegar, de-seed the scotchies, dark soy sauce instead of salt, molasses instead of brown sugar and browning, olive or avocado oil, basil and a touch of tomato paste personally.. but to each their own. It goes on all meats!

[@AnnaYAH5315]

Yes! This will be in my mason jar!

[@vibharao8197]

I tried this recipe today because the Dunn’s river paste I bought was too hot but this was perfect and I could even eat it on its own without blowing my head off! I’m going to cook sweet potato and butternut squash curry now with it , we’ll done Raquel!

[@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine]

Thank you for your feedback Vibha, I am glad you like it, and you are so very welcome 🤗

[@heavydownn2962]

I can’t wait to try this!! I’m STILL singing the praises of your jerk chicken; and it gets compliments everytime I serve it. Thanks for posting this recipe. Like so many others-I’ve become too dependent on Walkerswood to define what jerk seasoning should taste like.

[@6yoppa]

appreciation for this video all the way from the bahamas✌🏼

[@gem2351]

I've always wondered how the Ja Jerk Seasoning tastes so authentic. Thank you for your very explicit recipe! Now I know...I will be adding ingredients like pimento, ginger and nutmeg to my Trini-style Green Seasoning.

I want to try this. What is the sauce added on top, drizzled over the chicken? Is it some sort of jerk gravy?

A bit of this Jerk Marinade, BBQ Sauce, Ketchup and some sugar, and mix well Absolutely delicious 🤤

Raquel, you need to Starr bottling g that jherk seasoning.

[@kilerbeez]

this looks absolutely amazing. how long do you think i could keep it in the fridge for? does it freeze well? i'd like to make a batch and just keep it somewhere.

[@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine]

It freezes very well, the vinegar that was added serve as a preservative, so if it’s refrigerated… it should last for a pretty long time

[@kilerbeez]

@@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine thanks so much!

[@sanaghafoor84]

What is browning? As someone brand new to this cuisine can you please explain this ingredient please

[@OPSteel97]

I am excited to try this! Please explain what browning sauce is? And there’s no brown sugar in the recipe list. Confusing!

[@MyaRight-]

Where do you find the recipe list? I don’t see it maybe I’m looking wrong 🙏🏾🫶🏽 please Help me ❤ thank you 🙏🏾

How much vinegar should I put in this? I noticed the amount wasn’t specified in the recipe in the description

[@jjohanesson9139]

Looks delicious.

[@marietewhare4783]

Do you think cilantro would be nice to put in . Only cuz i got alot of it. 🙏

[@kimoni6]

Yes it would be fine just don't put too much in it.

Can this be used for wings, not to marinate but for tossing after frying?

[@jward9637]

What is the dark sauce you put on it in the box? Thank you!

[@thereal_fran724]

Hello I watched your video and it looked delicious, I want to know did you make the wet jerk seasoning or you bought it like that, I looked up wet jerk seasoning and google is showing the seasoning “dried” or “ dry rub” . Is it the same as Jerk Marinade? I want to get the right ingredients and seasoning you used in video. thank you.

[@roymartinez3567]

What exactly is the "Browning" ingredient you used that you mentioned in the video?

[@samo-zaposao8757]

That must be good marinade

[@wytemanfrmtwn9363]

Will it still be good without pimento peppers? I like the spicy flavors. Can I add a few more scotch bonnets for consistency instead of pimento or will it change the recipe to much?

[@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine]

Hi Wyteman, add as much scotch bonnet peppers as you like, the pimento peppers could definitely be excluded, wouldn’t affect the recipe at all !

[@Dis1Air]

ahh that look nice 👌

[@KennyLauderdale]

It would be nice to add some peach and honey to this marinade as an alternative to this one. Do you think I should grind up my pimento berry first mi nuh won a crunchy, crunchy jerk lol.

[@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine]

Lol Yes you could do that 👍🏾

[@candyromalho9776]

Is cubeb berries all spice

[@mr.speyside5240]

The leaves after the green onion was culantro, right?

[@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine]

@@mr.speyside5240 It was actually celery… which is optional

[@queenbeautiful4037]

What are all the measurements of each ingredient

[@definedbyfaith413]

In the description

[@sliturarse]

Is the browning just food color? I that browning necessary? I can't find where or what that browning is.

[@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine]

Soy sauce could be a substitute but the browning could be excluded.

[@vibharao8197]

I wondered about this too but I used the dark Modena vinegar for this which is lovely though expensive!

[@ameliareyes3041]

Can use this jerk marinade on beef patties?

[@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine]

Sure can

[@KAMengine]

We can’t get pimento peppers. The only thing available is sliced pimentos on a jar. Would they work ok for this recipe?

[@richardmurray4605]

The pimento peppers are totally optional, they are not traditionally part of the Jerk marinade. The scotch bonnets are the essential ingredient, along with the pimento berries or powder and thyme

[@antoniocarter4333]

What's the measurement of vinegar

[@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine]

1/4 cup You could also add a bit of water if it’s not enough to spin blender

[@Itonwise]

A lot of jerk recipes use orange juice and soy sauce, what do you think it adds?

[@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine]

The soy sauce is a substitute for the browning and the orange juice is a substitute for the lime juice.

[@Itonwise]

@@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine thank you

[@Itonwise]

@@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisinedo you have the browning recipe please?

[@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine]

@@Itonwise You mean the making of the browning or the amount used? Browning is sold in almost all supermarkets, add just enough to the marinade to acquire that Jerk Color

[@GrantWVincent]

@racsfood or for the group…are all these ingredients native or found growing wild in Jamaica? I believe I understand jerk originated from African cooking methods adapted in Jamaica. Great flavors! So many ingredients! Had me wondering what the process looked like in colonial/slavery era and if all that stuff grows there or if it was brought to Jamaica.

How tf are you supposed to make this if none of the stores around me have scotch bonnet peppers and pimento seeds? What are alternatives to these that makes it still taste pretty much the same?

[@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine]

Other kind of peppers could be use, but the pimento seeds really gives it that greatness…. 🤔

[@brooklyndedarkchild5911]

Buy habanero pepper...tastes the same.

[@briana1242]

Use habanero and ground Allspice with 1 clove

[@hellacooook]

What is brown liquid? Is that soy sauce

That’s browning, caramelize sugar. Soy sauce could work as a substitute
