Jamaican Jerk Seasoning Recipe

Of course you can buy some jerk seasoning but you won’t believe how easy it is to make it at home. You can control the ingredients, adding as much or as little of the spice as you want. From my friend Judson who gave it to me, it has a healthy amount of authentic allspice as well as a kick from red pepper flakes. Plus it has other aromatics to round it out. Add it to anything and everything.

How to Make Jerk Seasoning

  • Gather Your Spices: Make sure you have all your spices ready to go. This is your ground allspice, dried thyme, red pepper flakes, granulated garlic, cracked black pepper, and onion powder.

  • Mixing Magic: In a medium-sized bowl, combine all the spices together. You’ll want to mix them thoroughly to ensure that every pinch of your jerk seasoning has the perfect balance of flavors.
