Jamaican Jerk Marinade

Ingredients

• 1 Tablespoon Cider Vinegar
• 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
• 1  Jalapeno, Seeded And Diced
• 2  Limes, Juiced
• 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
• 2 leaves Bay Leaves
• 1 Tablespoon Allspice
• 2 teaspoons Dried Thyme
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 Tablespoon Salt
• 1 Tablespoon Sugar
• 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil

Preparation Instructions

Mix everything together (I prefer to combine them in a zip-lock bag) add protein of your choice and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 and up to 24 hours. Grill or broil meat as you want. Dispose of any remaining marinade.

I like to increase the heat by adding a Serrano chili, diced, instead of a jalapeno.

I originally picked up this recipe from Food Network (a recipe by Emeril Lagasse) but over the last few years have made some changes to make it my own.
