Favorite Jamaican Recipes you make at home

If you are making jerk chicken and have access to amazon.com, order some walkerswood jerk marinade (the bottle that is wide at the bottom and narrows towards the top). It's fantastic! Huz also really likes the Walkerswood Jerk BBQ sauce. I order a bunch at a time to save on shipping and keep them in the pantry. We go through them pretty quickly as they can be added to a variety of recipes. Walkerswood also makes a cookbook (Walkerswood caribbean kitchen by virginia burke) featuring their products but there are some other great cookbooks that aren't so brand specific. Still, it is a good cookbook if you have access to their products or are willing to make some substitutions. I also love Helen Willinsky's Jerk From Jamaica: Barbecue Caribbean Style. It includes a lot more than jerk, despite the title.

Also - check out the link that marley posted. There are some good recipes over there. I posted a couple we made up/adapted and I love the rum cake recipe that is posted there too.

If you can find the book "Jerk from Jamaica" Barbecue Caribbean Style by Helen Willinsky, you will have it all covered from appetizers, to main courses, drinks & desserts. This book has so many great recipes in it. My favs are the Jerk Marinade, and the dry jerk seasoning. The dry jerk seasoning can be used for many things, and you can make the Jamaican coleslaw recipe from the book with it. I have never had a coleslaw in Jamaica just like this one, but it is oh so tastey.

Easiest Jamaican recipe I make is oxtail. Throw everything in the slow cooker and cook all day, I dare to say what I make is the best I've had. Found the recipe on Allrecipes.com.
