DRY JERK SEASONING

Use to season either pork or poultry; simply rub into the meat, marinate overnight in the refrigerator, grill or bake, and enjoy! Might be good on beef also, or any other meat. Only thing I would stay away from is white-fleshed fish because, in my experience white-fleshed fish is very delicate tasting and, the flavors of this seasoning are big and bold; therefore, it seems to me, using this Jerk Rub on white-fleshed fish would just overpower the flavor of the fish. As in any of the recipes I enter, if you don't have habanero or don't like habanero, then go ahead and substitute with any other pepper fruit/vegetable. From "Too Many Chiles!" by Dave DeWitt, Nancy and Jeff Gerlach.

This is a great Jamaican Rub recipe that is nice with poultry and pork. You can adjust the spicyness by increasing or decreasing the amount or type of crushed peppers. For a "not so hot" rub, use crushed red peppers. For a "really hot" rub, use dried scotch bonnet peppers.
