The beautiful blend of spices in jerk seasoning is unique but perfectly balanced. You can vary the amount of each spice, however, to get the flavor that works for you. My family enjoys this version, mostly because I use only a pinch of cayenne so that the spice doesn�t overpower their delicate palates. You can also control the heat by adding more or less cayenne and red pepper flakes. What�s your spice threshold?
