JAMAICAN JERK PORK LOIN
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix jerk seasoning with the oil in a small bowl (this will thin it and cut the heat). Trim any excess fat from the pork loin, leaving a thin-layered wide strip down the center of the top. Evenly rub the entire pork loin with the jerk seasoning mixture. Place pork loin in a shallow greased roasting pan, and bake for 20 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 300 degrees F and continue baking for about 1 more hour, or until a meat thermometer stuck in the thickest part reads 145 degrees F. Remove from oven and let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips:
- Use a variety of peppers. Scotch bonnet peppers are the traditional choice for Jamaican jerk brine, but you can also use habanero, cayenne, or ghost peppers. Just be sure to adjust the amount of peppers you use based on your desired heat level.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with other spices. In addition to the peppers, Jamaican jerk brine typically includes a variety of other spices, such as allspice, thyme, and ginger. Feel free to add or omit spices to suit your own taste.
- Let the chicken or pork marinate for at least 24 hours. The longer the meat marinates, the more flavorful it will be. If you're short on time, you can marinate the meat for as little as 30 minutes, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Cook the meat over low heat. Jerk chicken or pork is typically cooked over low heat for a long period of time. This allows the meat to absorb the flavors of the brine and become fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Serve with your favorite sides. Jamaican jerk chicken or pork is delicious served with a variety of sides, such as rice and peas, coleslaw, or fried plantains.
Conclusion:
Jamaican jerk brine is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to chicken or pork. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a marinade that will make your meat taste amazing. Be sure to experiment with different peppers and spices to find the perfect flavor combination for your taste buds.
