Dry Jerk Seasoning

By Shaylie

Allspice and Scotch bonnet peppers are the cornerstones of a great jerk seasoning. I use both of them in my dry and wet rubs. If you like a testier rub, you can always boost it with more Scotch bonnets.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup allspice
• 1 tablespoon dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon Hatch chile powder
• 1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 or 2 dried Scotch bonnet or habanero peppers, crushed
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1 /2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

With a mortar and pestle, mash all ingredients together, and place into a sealable container until ready to use.
