https://www.simplyrecipes.com/jerk-seasoning-dry-jamaican-jerk-rub-7564928

INGREDIENTS

• 2 tablespoons (12g) ground allspice
• 2 teaspoons (5g) ground cloves
• 2 teaspoons (5g) ground cinnamon, or a 5-inch cinnamon stick
• 2 teaspoons (5g) ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon (3g) ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon (3g) ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon (3g) paprika
• 1 tablespoon (6g) dried, ground Scotch bonnet pepper (habanero as substitute)
• 1 tablespoon (9g) onion powder
• 1 tablespoon (9g) garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon (16g) salt
• 2 tablespoons (25g) cane sugar
• 2 tablespoons (7g) dried thyme

DIRECTIONS

1. Toast and grind the whole cloves, cinnamon, black peppercorns, and allspice. In a dry skillet or small pot over medium-low heat, add the allspice berries, whole cloves, cinnamon stick, and black peppercorns. Move the spices around frequently by shaking the pan in a back and forth or using a spatula to turn. When spices start to smell fragrant and make a crackling noise, about 4-5 minutes, put them in a bowl. Allow the spices to cool, then grind in a spice grinder into a fine powder. (see NOTES below for ground spice substitutions)

2. Whisk together all of the ingredients in a small bowl until evenly combined.

3. Transfer the seasoning to an airtight jar or container. Store in a cool, dry place. For the best flavor use within 6 months.
