This is a good one for Turkey, Fish, pork and Chicken. You may want to double up on this one because it is only 6 servings. This is also for about 1-1/2 lbs of meat.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup olive oil
1 jalapeno pepper, diced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon allspice
1 tablespoon gingerroot, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced (I use more because I love garlic)
4 green onions, thinly sliced

Directions

1
Mix all marinade ingredients in a shallow baking dish (I just use a large ziplock bag for all of my marinating).
2
Reserve 1/2 cup to be used as a dipping sauce or baste.
3
Add meat to marinade and refrigerate for 30 minutes to overnight.
4
Then grill when you are ready.

Made for All New Zaar Cookbooks Tag. While I don't know whether this tastes like Jamaican Jerk or not, I do know that this is a wonderful marinade. Used it on boneless skinless chicken thighs and cooked them on the grill. Thanks for posting Gingerbear!

Mild to Medium Heat. But SoOoOoO good! I served it at a BBQ with extra hotsauce and scothbonne puree for thos who wanted more Heat! I also loaded up on the ginger (love that stuff) ... I just bought a little root and prepared the entire marinade in the blender!! The myriad of flavors jerk is so famous for came out in full force .. I'm still getting pats on the back ... and requests to have another BBQ

Oohhh this is so good. The best barbecue! I used chicken legs and thighs, and marinated for about 30 hours. Also used mesquite chips that had soaked in water for lots of smoke.
