Jerk Sauce Recipe

If you like spicy food, and especially like the Island tastes from Jamaica, you will enjoy this jerk sauce recipe.  You can use jerk sauce when cooking chicken or pork and it is especially good when barbequing.  This is a basic recipe that provides the basic flavor of jerk, but you will need to add hot peppers for the spicyness you want.  Add scotch bonnet peppers, habanero peppers, or country peppers at your own discretion and according to how hot you want it.  But remember, a little scotch bonnet pepper goes a long way, so becareful when you add it.  You can chop the peppers up really fine, add a whole pepper to the sauce, or grind a couple up in a blender or food processor.  Set your mouth on fire and enjoy the tingle!
