    I made this up before Christmas, put it in cellophane bags and gave it to work colleagues as a gift. Then I made up jars of it for family for Christmas as well. Universally everyone asked me for the recipe because they liked it so much. I finally got around to making some up for us about three weeks ago. (because everyone was raving about it at work) It's been tried on BBQ'd steak and on oven baked chicken wings thuis far at our house. I love it! It is spicy but not hot and adds a wonderful flavour. You can sprinkle it on meats immediately prior to cooking or leave it to marinade for hours before cooking. Im also thinking you could sprinkle chops and other meats with this and then dump then in the freezer until youre ready to cook them. I wish they allowed more than 5 stars because this recipe is a definite keeper and we will make it up again and again.

    This is an extremely versatile and cheap spice mix to have on hand. I tried an experiment tonight, and tried a marinated and pressed tofu to cajun vs. jerk seasoning. My conclusion was that cajun was hotter, but both recipes were excellent. Oh, by the way, the Jamaican jerk recipe was also Rita's:D

    Rita this is a wonderful spice mix to have handy in the cupboard . I used it to season my BBQ pork chops, and yes, as Geema mentioned I can't wait to try it on my grilled eggplants, and so many other foods. This is a delicious spice blend to have on just about every food.Thanks so much for sharing Rita, I will be using this quite a lot.....Kitten

    What a handy spice mix to have on hand! I used my first trial taste on some spinach that I cooked up for a omelette for our Sunday brunch. I placed it on the eggs along with some grated cheddar cheese and it was spicy and delicious. Now I can't wait to try it with lots of other things that will be enhanced by this great seasoning...eggplant patties are going to be next!
