Jamaican Jerk Pork

2 1/2 lbs pork

Seasoning:
1/2 onion
1/2 cup green onion
2-3 garlic cloves
1 tsp fresh thyme
1/2-1 habanero pepper

Jerk marinade:
2 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp ground pimento
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp pepper

Rub in seasoning on pork. Leave for 1/2 an hour.  Rub on jerk marinade and leave to marinate for at least 5 hours (overnight is best). Prepare grill and barbeque pork until cooked or put in hot oven at 400* for about 20 minutes. Lower temperature and allow to cook slowly until done.

We normally chop our PORK into small pieces before we season and marinate.  The next day we skewer the meat with veggies and grill it up for kabobs.  Very yummy and authentic!

Pulled Jerk Pork

2 1/2 lb pork boneless shoulder
1 T Jamaican jerk seasoning
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup cola
2 cups barbecue sauce

Rub jerk seasoning over pork, sprinkle with thyme. Place in slow cooker. Sprinkle with onion. Pour cola over pork. Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours. Remove pork from cooker and shred . Remove juices from cooker and reserve 1/2 cup. Return pork to cooker and stir in BBQ sauce and 1/2 cup of reserved juice. Change cooker to high and cook 30-45 minutes. Serve on hamburger or sandwich buns.

Once again, I got this recipe from a neighbor because it was soooo good. I've only made it once myself and I used a really spicy BBQ sauce and it had a little too much kick. Next time I will use a sweeter sauce because the other seasonings give it enough kick for me.
