The refrigerator light goes on...

There are a lot of dry rubs on the market very similar to this jerk. There’s essentially nothing in them but flavor so you can use almost as much as your spicy palate will allow. Many do have more salt in them than this recipe so check the Nutritional Facts carefully.

Chipotle Peppers

Chipotles are actually jalapeno chilies that have been smoked and dried. The intense flavor is spicy and has lovely undertones of smoke, chocolate and sweet peppers. If the peppers are not going to cook for very long, I will often soften them by steaming for about ten minutes.

Usually found in specialty markets (and more often now in your corner grocery store), dried chipotles are also sold packed in cans in adobo which is a spicy sauce made of vinegar, dried chili peppers, herbs and spices.
