  1. Outstanding. I am a good cook, use all fresh ingredients, as you, in my Cusinart food processor. I have worked on perfecting jerk (and learning it's history and origins – the Maroons).

    Yes, scallions & green onion, thyme, scotch bonnet, allspice berries fresh ground, leaves, ect.

    I comment because of you mentioning not having brown sugar. What you want to use is an authentic, special sugar: Dark Muscovado (Sugar from Mauritius). India Tree Gourmet Spices & Specialities sells it online at Amazon. It has a high molasses content and, a strong lingering flavor. Just one of the many 'secret wepons' I have found over the years in perfecting my jerk.

  2. okay my friend, I couldn't find the actual measurements until the end. It wasn't very dark though. Is there a specific dark soya that I should be getting to get that dark rich colour. It is marinating to cook tomorrow…can't wait! I will let you know how it turns out this week.

  3. Update: This has become one of my favorite recipes because it hits so many of the right spots: 1) the cut of pork is dirt cheap. A 3.5lb shoulder butt roast is about $11 and can feed you for days, or several people at once, 2) the herbs and seasonings in this recipe SING!! The smell is just intoxicating and it tastes incredible!
    Things to keep in mind, the recipe uses a 5lb cut of pork, which is why he had it in the oven so long (2.5 hrs). So if you go with a smaller cut of pork like me, 3.5lbs, you will need to adjust your oven time or your pork may come out dry. I eliminated all that guess work and just got an oven thermometer. Set it for 160 and it was in the oven for almost 2 hrs. I can't even describe how tender and juicy that pork was. With that crusty herb encrusted top layer.
    Last thing is this can go with almost anything! Mac and cheese? Yes! Rice and spinach risotto? Heck yeah! Green seasoning cast iron grilled potatoes? Dear Lord, come take my hand!!

  4. Chris this is a great Jerk man I made it for my husband and he raved about it to all his friends!! He now wants it at least once a week!! I make with rice and peas, fried Plantains steamed vegetable and festival to mop up the goodness. My kitchen smells wonderful as it cooks. I lived in Kingston for many years. I sat in my kitchen with a rum and coke closed my eyes and I could have been back in Screechies restaurant at Hellshire beach. Anyway great recipe and video man. Respect.

  5. Made this yesterday and I want to thank chef for an amazing recipe. It turned out amazing for me, on my first try!! Chef is 100% correct, the smell is AMAZING and it tastes insane!! I roasted mine for about 2.5 hours, pork was tender, flavorful and that marinade is to die for! What I love about this recipe is you don't need expensive or hard to find ingredients. Most I already had and the ones I didn't have were only a couple dollars. Also I was a bit worried about the salt. In the video it looks like a mountain full of salt he drops in the marinade. I put about the same amount and it turned out excellent!
    This is a five star recipe!
