Notes
- There are 2 Blue Plan SmartPoints in a serving of this.
- To make the best Caribbean Jerk Sauce, make sure to blend it all to your desired consistency. If you like more of a chunky Sauce, blend your ingredients a little less.
- Wear gloves when working with scotch bonnet or other hot peppers.
- Use a sharp knife to deseed your scotch bonnet chilis before using them, or your jerk marinade will be even hotter.
- Do NOT forget to remove the woody stems of your fresh thyme sprigs. You don’t want to blend that up into your marinade.
- Make a Slow Cooker Jerk Chicken Stew using this jerk sauce.
- Use it to add tons of flavor to most any homemade soup recipe. I looooove mixing it into this Jamaican Carrot Soup.
- Serve it on top of the Best Ever Jamaican Rice and Peas.
