People immediately think "Hit & Spicy" when they think Jamaican jerk rub. That's not always the case, most chefs pride themselves on a flavourful jerk spice mix with very little heat. Too many hot peppers mask all of the other flavours… So we give you this jerk rub with no peppers; try it out and add the heat later if you need it.<br /><br />2 Tbsp (30 mL) brown sugar<br />2½ tsp (12 mL) salt<br />2 tsp (10 mL) allspice<br />1 tsp (5 mL) cayenne pepper<br />1 tsp (5 mL) freshly ground black pepper<br />1 tsp (5 mL) onion powder<br />½ tsp (2 mL) ground cinnamon<br />½ tsp (2 mL) garlic powder<br />¼ tsp (1 mL) ground cumin<br />¼ tsp (1 mL) dried thyme<br /><br />Mix all ingredients and store in a cool, dark place.
