Jerk Ham With a Mango Orange Pineapple Rum Glaze.

With the holiday season around the corner I thought I’d finally put up the Jerk Ham recipe we did last Christmas on YouTube, as I’m sure you’re looking to add some Caribbean vibe to your dinner table. We’ll start off with a classic Jamaican jerk marinade, then finish off with a rum infused mango orange pineapple glaze to help balance off the spicy undertones of the jerk spices. This jerk ham is guaranteed to make an impression on your family and friends this.. so be prepared to have the request it again very soon.

Tasty Mushroom Olive Stewed Chicken.

Tasty Mushroom Olive Stewed Chicken.

Absolutely nothing beats classic Caribbean stewed chicken in my humble opinion. And with that in mind (not trying to deal with people saying I ruined a classic recipe), let me show you how to change things up a bit by adding mushrooms and olives to already classic way to enjoy island-style chicken. A little experimenting with other ingredients I enjoy and thus this recipe was born. Coincidentally my girls will not touch olives, so the entire pot is usually mine!

Succulent Jerk Rotisserie Chicken.

Succulent Jerk Rotisserie Chicken.

This past summer during our annual July Month Of Grilling, I shared this awesome recipe for what I believe is best way to roast a chicken on the grill. The self-basting achieved by having the chicken on a rotisserie, means you’d never have a dry and cardboard-like chicken. And your taste-buds will be excited by the punch the jerk marinade brings to the table. Tender, juicy and that awesome spice kick, means your family and guests will be asking for this jerk chicken for years to come.
