Celebrating Jamaica week at our nursing home I work at was such at hit that I have been given the task of organizing a Holiday Jamaican party between Christmas and New Years.....is there any special foods that are a Jamaican staple during the holidays? Dirty bananas are already on the menu......those were a hit this summer.....
Any suggestions will be appreciated...
If you can get your hands on some sorrel...the drink (often with a bit of rum) is very popular over the holiday season...it is THE Christmas drink.
How about Jamaican Rum Balls. Heres an easy recipe.

I'm hoping that the Caribbean store here has it otherwise it'll have to be dirty bananas again....Here's our sorrel crop for the holidays. I like mine with strong ginger and white rum!

Rum punch & ginger beer is popular...Ting & rum is easy
Food offerings...curry goat, mannish water, ham, Christmas cake, rice & pea, oxtail, banana bread, you could always make jerk or brown stew chicken...
here's a recipe for sorrel - you can use fresh or dried sorrel as noted in recipe. If you have a Caribbean store in your area, you should be able to buy dried sorrel.
