Allspice and thyme run through the whole box — that's the jerk signature — with lime and ginger keeping it bright, brown sugar and molasses making it sticky, and rum rounding the sauce out at the back. The habanero appears in three of the five, but always as a slow finish rather than an opening statement. The Sweet Mustard is the spiciest thing in the box; the Cajun Stinger is the most savoury. Nothing here will hurt anyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use the five\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProper jerk chicken:\u003c\/strong\u003e marinate thighs or marylands overnight in the Jerk Marinade, grill hard over charcoal until the skin blisters and chars, then squeeze lime over the top.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSticky ribs:\u003c\/strong\u003e rub with One Love, cook them low, then mop with the Rum and BBQ Sauce in the last twenty minutes so it lacquers instead of burns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo time?\u003c\/strong\u003e One Love straight onto chicken or fish, dry, and onto the grill.

The rub is dry and goes on minutes ahead when you haven't planned that far. Both give you jerk; the marinade gives you more of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these full-size products?\u003c\/strong\u003e All five are full retail size, including a 340g Cajun Stinger shaker.
