Jamaican Style Jerk Rub

I have a weakness for spicy foods and have been trying to find a blend of spices that were not too over powering or dominated by one particular flavor. Doug’s Jamaican Style Jerk Rub is the result of my quest for the perfect jerk seasoning. My wife was my guinea pig and tried several versions before we got the right mix. If her nose crinkled, I went back to the drawing board. I’m sure you will agree that we got the flavors just right.
