Notes

• To convert to a Jamaican wet jerk rub, keep the same jerk marinade recipe ingredients but DRINK THE BEER instead of pouring into the blender 😉 And instead of blending, use a food processor or mortar and pestle so that your jerk seasoning has more chunks, which is how we like it in Jamaica!
