Jerk paste, traditional ingredients. Added a bit of dark rum for taste. Freshly ground allspice berries are the key to a good jerk sauce. Citrus, Habs, hickory blended with allspice berries for an authentic smoke. Fresh boston butt, about 5 pounds. I marinated my pork for 36 hours for total flavor immersion. The weird tuber in the corner is a jicama, which I used for the slaw at the end.
Gratuitous ingredient pic.
Smoked her for about 9 hours on LOW!! Made those connective tissue wish they never existed. The smoke is a mix of hickory and allspice berries. It stings the nostrils.
Baked some traditional Coco bread, which is a staple in Jamaican street food, such as this. Here they are piping hot out of the oven. It's funny they call it Coco bread because it does not have coconut or cocoa in it. No matter, it was delicious! Buttery and chewy and yeasty.
The final product. Made up some Jicama slaw, threw in some cilantro and lime for taste.
Pulled Jerk Pork, Jicama Slaw, Coco Bread, and a nice Rum and Coke. An amazing way to celebrate Independence Day!
Cheers.
