JERK SPICE RUB
About ⅔ cup
In addition to pork or chicken, this rub is also good for seasoning shrimp and fish with jerk-type flavors. When grilling jerk-rubbed items, baste them with lime juice periodically, or after each turn.
Mix together well in a small bowl:
- 3 tablespoons dried thyme, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dry mustard
- 2 teaspoons ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
