Type:
Main Dishes
Sometimes purchased jerk seasoning or marinades (native to Jamaica) can be quite spicy. This recipe allows you to control the spiciness to your taste with the amount of cayenne pepper. Prepare extra spice rub to use on poultry or meat before grilling.

2 tbsp (25 ml) vegetable oil

1/4 tsp (1 ml) cinnamon
