Jerk is a spicy dish found in Caribbean cuisine that's typically made with meat and a specific blend of spices known as Jamaican jerk seasoning. The jerk rub is a combination of aromatic herbs and spices that gives the meat its distinctive, slightly spicy flavor. Creating a delicious dry jerk rub at home is easy and requires a mix of pantry staple spices such as paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Additionally, allspice, cumin, and thyme add depth of flavor to the blend. Once prepared, this rub can be used to enhance the taste of pork, chicken or fish for grilling, roasting, or pan-frying. With a few simple steps and readily available ingredients, you can create a flavorful dry jerk rub that will tantalize your taste buds and impress your friends and family.

DRY JERK RUB
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.
