JAMAICAN OVEN JERK PORK SHOULDER
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Place allspice, brown sugar, garlic, Scotch bonnet peppers, thyme, scallions, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and soy sauce in a food processor . Blend until smooth.
- With a sharp knife, carefully score the thick fat of the pork shoulder into a diamond pattern, trying to not cut into the meat.
- Press and massage a thick coating of the jerk sauce on the exterior of the pork so it is completely covered-gloves are encouraged for this process. Refrigerate any leftover sauce as long as it hasn't been in contact with the raw pork. It will keep for 4 to 5 weeks.
- Place the pork in a roasting pan and cover with a lid, foil, or plastic wrap. Refrigerate to marinate at least 24 hours or for up to two days.
- When ready to cook, let the pork sit at room temperature at least one hour or until it reaches room temperature. Then, preheat oven to 450 F.
- Line a roasting pan with heavy foil and insert a roasting rack.
- Roast pork uncovered for 30 minutes at this high heat, and then lower the temperature to 325 F.
- Roast for an additional 3 to 4 hours. If you notice the crust starting to over-blacken, cover again with aluminum foil. The pork is done when an instant-read thermometer (inserted in the thickest part of the meat away from fat) reads 180 to 190 F.
- Remove from the oven and rest for 30 minutes before carving.
- Serve with your favorites sides and enjoy!

AIR-FRYER JAMAICAN JERK PORK CHOPS
These sweet, spicy air fryer pork chops can be thrown together in minutes, but they definitely don't taste like it. Serve them with a side of jasmine rice and you'll feel like you're on a tropical vacation. -Allison Ulrich, Frisco, Texas

JAMAICAN JERK PORK FILET MIGNON
A different way to prepare a pork loin. It was easy to prepare, and produced great results. I just made this one up as I went....If you really want to simplify it use a store bought Jamaican Jerk Spice mix.

Steps:
- To make Jerk Seasoning, mix all spices together and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Remove fat cap and silver skin ( I used a filet knife).
- Cut loin across grain into 3/4" to 1" filet mignons.
- Wrap a slice of bacon around circumference of filets, secure with toothpick(s).
- Sprinkle and rub Jerk Seasoning on both sides of filets. Left over seasoning can be stored in an air tight container.
- Coat iron skillet (or other oven ready pan) with olive oil (spray on pan coating can be used instead) to high heat on stove.
- Fry both sides of the filets until well browned (about 2 minutes per side).
- Put browned filets and skillet into preheated oven.
- Bake 20 minutes or until internal temp of filet is 160°F.
- Remove from pan and let stand 5 minutes.
- Garnish with 1 Tbsp of fruit compote per serving.
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.

JAMAICAN JERK PORK
Yet another Jerk recipe, but so far this has been the the best I have tried to date. My inability to get scotch bonnets at the local market here in Canada inspired me to grow my own. I have made this recipe with habaneros, but I prefer the scotch bonnet or the Jamaican Red Mushroom peppers. I use 10 scotch bonnet peppers for screaming hot jerk. Use 1-2 if your not used to hot foods. Advance Preparation - At least 4 hours for marinating the meat. Overnight preferred. Special Equipment - two cups hickory or oak chips or chunks, soaked for 1 hour in cold water to cover and drained. I use a gas grill and a small metal wood chip box that sits on a side burner. Note: Don't worry too much about chopping the veggies neatly or really fine. They'll all be thrown in a blender anyways.

Steps:
- Using the tip of a paring knife, make holes 1/4 inch deep all over each pork tenderloin. Place the tenderloins in a large nonreactive baking dish and set aside while you prepare the seasoning.
- Combine the Scotch bonnets, scallions, onion, ginger, and garlic in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Add the thyme, allspice, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, vinegar, soy sauce, salt, brown sugar, and the 2 TBSP's of oil and process to a smooth puree. Or puree all of these ingredients in a blender.
- Using a rubber spatula, spread the seasoning mixture over the tenderloins, stuffing it into the holes . Let the tenderloins marinate in the refrigerator, covered for a least 4 hours, or as long as overnight, turning the meat several times. The best way to marinate this is to place half the rub and the tenderloin in a ziploc bag.
- Set up the grill for direct grilling. If using a gas grill, place the wood chips in a smoker box and preheat the grill to high; when the smoke appears, lower the heat to medium.
- If using a charcoal grill, preheat it to medium.
- When ready to cook, if using a charcoal grill, toss the wood chips on the coals. Brush and oil the grill grate. Arrange the pork tenderloins on the hot grate and grill, turning with tongs and brushing occasionally with oil, until nicely browned on both sides and cooked through, 8 - 10 minutes a side. When not turning the meat, keep the grill covered to hold in the smoke.
- Alternatively, you can also use a spit and cook the tenderloins on a rotisserie. I bought a whole tenderloin and cut it into 2 lbs pieces. I then basted the pork with the extra marinade throughout cooking. Cook to an internal temperature of 130F - 135F or until desired done-ness and remove from grill. It will continue to raise in temperature to 140-145F as it rests under tinfoil.
- Transfer the pork to a cutting board cover with tinfoil and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut it into thin diagonal slices and serve with your choice of sides. Makes FANTASTIC sandwiches the next day.

Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to score the pork tenderloin. This will help the marinade penetrate the meat and cook it evenly.
- If you don't have time to marinate the pork for 24 hours, you can marinate it for a shorter amount of time. Just be sure to marinate it for at least 30 minutes.
- When grilling the pork, cook it over indirect heat. This will help prevent the pork from drying out.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork. The pork is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
Jamaican jerk pork tenderloin is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. The marinade is made with a blend of spices, herbs, and citrus fruits that give the pork a unique and unforgettable flavor. The pork is then grilled to perfection and served with a variety of sides. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
