"Since visiting Jamaica, I've become a big fan of jerk chicken and fish," writes Lee Ann Odell from Boulder, Colorado. "I came up with my own version of that zesty island flavoring especially for this contest. It's a great sauce for ribs, whether you're grilling them or making them in the oven. It makes me feel like I'm on vacation!"

JAMAICAN BBQ SAUCE
This is one of my mom's tattered recipes from her well-used collection. It says 1998 and is from Heloise. Very nice sauce for chicken, ribs, or whatever. We had this at almost every family gathering by the grill. You can double the recipe and store in the refrigerator for up to one month. Cooking time is refrigeration time.
