What makes jerk seasoning different from other spice blends?
Traditional jerk seasoning is known for combining warming spices such as allspice and cloves with fiery Scotch bonnet chillies, creating a distinctive balance of heat, sweetness and aromatic flavour that is unique to Caribbean cooking.
Can jerk paste be used as more than a marinade?
Yes. Jerk paste can be stirred into soups, mixed into barbecue sauces, blended with butter for corn on the cob, added to rice dishes or whisked into dressings and dips for an extra layer of flavour.
How can I adjust the heat of jerk paste without losing its flavour?
Mix the paste with a little oil, yoghurt, mayonnaise or coconut milk before using. This softens the chilli heat while keeping the characteristic blend of herbs and spices that gives jerk seasoning its signature taste.
