Description

Bring the authentic, sun-drenched flavors of the Caribbean directly to your barbecue with Tropical Sun Jamaican Jerk Seasoning Paste. Winner of the prestigious Great Taste Award, this traditional seasoning paste is prepared in Central Village, Jamaica, blending freshly crushed escallions with potent hot peppers, aromatic crushed pimento berries (Jamaican allspice), fragrant thyme, and a hint of sweet nutmeg. The thick wet paste clings evenly to meats and plant-based proteins, penetrating deeply to lock in juices and impart an unmistakable smoky, spicy, and herbal crust during cooking.
