jerk
jurk –verb (used with object)
1. to preserve meat –adjective
2. being or containing a spicy seasoning mixture flavored with
pimento, used esp. in Jamaican cooking:
jerk sauce.
3. prepared with jerk flavorings, esp. by barbecuing or grilling: jerk chicken.
Pimento wood is what gives true jerk cooking its unique flavor. The chicken grills on a bed of wet
pimento leaves and sticks. The smoking wood infuses the meat, to the bone, with robust flavor. Aromatic with deep
citrusy and smoky notes, the wood makes all the difference in the world.
