Jerk Sauce / Marinade (My Way)
This bold, aromatic jerk sauce brings together the essence of traditional Caribbean cooking with a few modern touches that make it versatile and approachable. Fresh herbs, citrus, and warm spices form the base, while a small addition of ketchup adds balance and richness without overpowering. Use it thick as a basting sauce or thin it out into a marinade either way, it delivers layered heat and depth to any protein. Best when paired with the dry rub on the grill for a truly unforgettable flavor experience.
