Let the sauce marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes, but preferably overnight. This will allow the flavors to really penetrate the meat.
When cooking the meat, be sure to cook it over medium-low heat so that the sauce doesn't burn.
Jerk sauce is also great as a marinade for vegetables. Try it on grilled or roasted vegetables for a delicious and flavorful side dish.
