The Facts

Move over traditional barbecue, these Jerk Ribs are taking over. These ribs are packed with flavor and moisture from slow cooking all day in the oven.

The great thing about this Jerk marinade is even though it is out of this world delicious on ribs, it can be used on really any meat! It also is extremely versatile for cooking styles. This rib recipe, in particular, is made in the oven, but a smoker or grill could be used instead if that’s your preferred slow cook style!

This marinade is the perfect combo of sweet, salty, and spicy. The spice trio of allspice, cinnamon, and nutmeg bring through the more complex flavors. The soy sauce adds the saltiness and an Asian style twist. The vinegar provides the acid to the mix and helps to tenderize the meat. The jalapenos provide the kick, but not too much as we remove the stems and seeds before blending. To finish it off the freshness flavor comes from adding in green onions (instead of a yellow onion more traditionally seen in Jamaican jerk marinades).
