• Cover and stir or flip often.
• Marinate for at least 8 hours.

JAMAICAN OVEN JERK PORK SHOULDER

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place allspice, brown sugar, garlic, Scotch bonnet peppers, thyme, scallions, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and soy sauce in a food processor . Blend until smooth.
• With a sharp knife, carefully score the thick fat of the pork shoulder into a diamond pattern, trying to not cut into the meat.
• Press and massage a thick coating of the jerk sauce on the exterior of the pork so it is completely covered-gloves are encouraged for this process. Refrigerate any leftover sauce as long as it hasn't been in contact with the raw pork. It will keep for 4 to 5 weeks.
• Place the pork in a roasting pan and cover with a lid, foil, or plastic wrap. Refrigerate to marinate at least 24 hours or for up to two days.
• When ready to cook, let the pork sit at room temperature at least one hour or until it reaches room temperature. Then, preheat oven to 450 F.
• Line a roasting pan with heavy foil and insert a roasting rack.
• Roast pork uncovered for 30 minutes at this high heat, and then lower the temperature to 325 F.
• Roast for an additional 3 to 4 hours. If you notice the crust starting to over-blacken, cover again with aluminum foil. The pork is done when an instant-read thermometer (inserted in the thickest part of the meat away from fat) reads 180 to 190 F.
• Remove from the oven and rest for 30 minutes before carving.
• Serve with your favorites sides and enjoy!

JERK PORK ROAST

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the peppers, scallions, onion, garlic, oil, rum, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Process until the mixture forms a smooth paste. Place the roast on a nonreactive plate and, using a spatula, coat with the jerk sauce. (Avoid touching the paste with your hands; the oil from the peppers can burn.) Cover and marinate overnight.
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the pork in a roasting pan fitted with a rack. Roast for 15 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 and continue roasting until the pork is just barely pink at the center when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 40 to 50 minutes. Remove the pork from the oven and allow to set, covered, for 15 minutes. Slice thinly and serve.

JAMAICAN JERK PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix jerk seasoning with the oil in a small bowl (this will thin it and cut the heat). Trim any excess fat from the pork loin, leaving a thin-layered wide strip down the center of the top. Evenly rub the entire pork loin with the jerk seasoning mixture. Place pork loin in a shallow greased roasting pan, and bake for 20 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 300 degrees F and continue baking for about 1 more hour, or until a meat thermometer stuck in the thickest part reads 145 degrees F. Remove from oven and let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
