How to make Jerk - Jamaica Style

Jerk is a method of seasoning and grilling meat that has its origins with the Tainos and later the Jamaican Maroons. The Jerk method of cooking was primarily used in the cooking of pork, helping to preserve the meat for days while people travelled through the countryside. Jerk was applied to wild hogs found in the Blue Mountain region of Portland. The meat was cleaned and dressed with spices and seasonings found around the area, then wrapped in pimento leaves for flavour. The pig would be lowered into a pit with hot coals with additional coals added on top. The pit was covered for 6 8 hours to allow the heat to cook through the meat.
