Be glad to. I will post both that I use.
I'm sure almost all Jerk sauces would work. But here is the one I had
used on the burgers :
Jamaican Jerk Sauce
Ingredients
1/2 cup ground allspice berries
1/2+ cup packed brown sugar
6-8 garlic cloves
4-6 Scotch bonnet peppers (Habaneros)
1 tablespoon ground thyme or 2 tablespoons thyme leaves
2 bunches escallions (green onions)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoon soy sauce to moisten
Instructions
Put everything in a food processor and blend until smooth. You may
use allspice berries, if available, but use enough to give the
equivalent of 1/2 cup ground. (Allspice berries and scotch bonnets
are key ingredients.) Keep this sauce refrigerated and it will keep
forever. Feel free to increase the hot peppers and garlic.
Rub the meat (chicken, pork or beef) with the seasoning. If using a
pork shoulder, score the fat and rub in. With chicken, be sure to rub
under skin and in cavities. Can also be used with fish, but use a
firm-fleshed fish like grouper.
Marinate overnight. Grill over a low fire until done. Charcoal is
best, but not essential. Meat will be smoked "pinkish" when done, and
the skin will be nice and dark. Chop meat into pieces, and serve
traditionally with hard-dough bread and Jamaican Red Stripe Beer.
*****************************
Here is another one for just everyday when I feel I need punishment.
Inner Beauty Habanero Sauce
Ingredients:
15 habanero chilis - roughly chopped
1 ripe mango - peel, pit, mash
1 cup cheap yellow prepared mustard
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chilli powder
salt and pepper to taste, assuming surviving taste buds
Mix all the ingredients together and stand well back.
Funnel the sauce into an old pint liquor bottle, then let your imagination
run free as to what whopper you can lay on your guests regarding its
origins. If you're having trouble, here's a start: "One day in Jamaica I
was in this dingy bar and met this old guy who..." and you take it from
there.
This will keep, covered and refrigerated, until the year 2028. Be careful
though: If it spills, it will eat a hole in your refrigerator. If you ever
want to dispose of it, call the local toxic waste specialists.
You deserve to die in pain...
