In the spirit of not losing recipes, I need to post this 'cause it is definitely a keeper. One of our favorite vacation spots is the Wisconsin Dells. We love a Jamaican restaurant there called Marleys. If you ever are in a town that has one start with the fried shark and alligator, get something "jerked" and go for the fried banana dessert. Trust me. I finally decided I needed to try making a "jerk" recipe at home. Let's just say the crockpot was literally picked clean. Oh, and as a bonus, by the time it's done, your house will smell incredible.
Jamaican Jerk Pork
1 onion, peeled
2 T vinegar
1 T olive oil
2 tsp sea salt
2 tsp thyme
1 T brown sugar
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp cinnamon
2 garlic cloves
1-4 habanero or chili peppers (2 will result in about mild-medium)
1/2 a pork tenderloin or 1 lg pork butt roast
Combine everything in a food processor and process into a paste. Coat meat with paste. Cook on high in crockpot until meat is fall apart (4-6 hours depending on cut). Use a fork or tongs to shred. Serve with rolls as pulled pork sandwiches or plain.
