Add pimento powder and all remaining ingredients to a food processor and blend with enough water to make a paste or sauce. Store in refrigerator. Keeps a month or more. Makes 2-3 cups.
Chicken wings make great jerk appetizers. Cut off tips and marinate in jerk seasoning overnight. Place on a rack and bake for 30-40 min. in a 350F. oven, basting frequently with marinate.
For a 3-4 lb. pork roast, rub with jerk paste and marinate overnight. Cook on smoker or grill or bake in the oven. Let roast come to room temperature. Place in a 400F. oven and immediately reduce the heat to 325F. Bake for 1 hour 45 minutes or to an internal temperature of 180.
