Notes: Recipe can be modified to your liking. You do not have to use all the ingredients but you must use jerk seasoning if you want this result, (REMEMBER jerk seasoning is spicy so modify to your liking), ground mustard, paprika and garlic. If the water was as salt as a brine use less salt to season or skip it. One famous Jamaican saying is "IF YOU CANT TAKE THE HEAT STAY OUT OF THE KITCHEN." This can mean a number of things but any way enjoy and watch how much jerk seasoning you use.
