My jerk ingredient

[tubes]

I soak cherry or apple wood chips in all spice for a number of days and it has worked marvelously
Wish I could grow the real one but live in Wisconsin

That’s a good idea, soaking in allspice. We r in NJ, the pimento tree stays out for summer then we bring it indoors. Easy to grow. It won’t ever bare berries here tho. It ads a great flavor and the smell coming off the Webber is great. Reminds us of Debar.
In winter while in house if you pick a leaf and crunch it up it smells like baking pumpkin pie!
Was the final ingredient to semi authentic jerk. Now if I could duplicate 3 dives granny sauce we would be in heaven.
