Jamaican Jerk Pork Recipe

My love for Jamaican food and the country of Jamaica starts in my home. My husband was born in the Parish of St. Andrew in Jamaica and came to the states when he was seven years old. As someone who loves cook but most importantly as his wife, I often cook dishes from his country that he loves and jerk pork is one of his favorites. I have traveled to the country of Jamaica twice and each time I have enjoyed the beaches, the people and the food. The first time I tried jerk pork was actually on my second visit to Jamaica. My boyfriend at the time (now husband) and I went for vacation and stayed in Montego Bay. My husband really wanted some authentic Jamaican food and not the resort version. We took at cab into town and our cab driver pulled off the side of the road to a place that had the best jerk pork on the island. The jerk pork was so flavorful and tender and this recipe reminds of that jerk pork I had years ago while on vacation. . This recipe is really easy to follow but requires quite a few of ingredients. It is also best if you marinate the meat overnight so the flavors are fully absorbed.
