Jamaican Barbecue Sauce image

"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!"

This sauce is delicious! I used it to marinate chicken overnight and then grilled it. The chicken was so juicy and flavorful. The sauce is also great on burgers, ribs, or even tofu. I will definitely be making this sauce again.

I've tried many different Jamaican barbecue sauces, but this one is by far the best. It's so flavorful and has the perfect amount of heat. I love using it on chicken, pork, and even fish. It's also great as a dipping sauce for fries or vegetables. I
