This homemade jerk seasoning is a blend of herbs and spices that creates a complex and bold flavor for fish, meat and poultry. The spice mix takes just minutes to put together and tastes so much better than the store bought version!

Notes

  • This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to keep on hand for future use.
  • This seasoning mix contains salt, which means you will not need to add any extra salt to your meat when you cook it. I typically use kosher salt.
  • Jerk seasoning will stay fresh for up to 6 months in a cool, dark place.
