Jerk paste

[SomeGuy]

I heart this book

I've tried the commercial jerk paste, but jarred spice pastes always taste a bit stale, but have just come across the jerk pork recipe in this book (it pays to have a read through your cookery book collection occasionally), and if the finished result is as tasty as the raw paste seems to be, then I'll be very happy.

Pics of my paste here:

and the lucky pork shoulder it's now on

Now I just need to hope it's dry tomorrow so I can bbq it.

My brother introduced me to home-made jerk paste. Soooo good. He grows his own chillies too.

Enjoy the pork shoulder.

As an addendum to this post, it freezes very well, a sort of slush puppy consistency so it's easy to take a spoon or two out of the freezer as needed, rather than having to smash an ice block of frozen spices.
