Grace Jamaican Hot & Mild Jerk Seasoning 2 x 10 oz jars — Scotch Bonnet, allspice blend for chicken & oxtail

Grace Jamaican Hot & Mild Jerk Seasoning (two 10 oz jars) is an authentic Caribbean spice blend built from Scotch Bonnet peppers, pimento, nutmeg and thyme for smoky, spicy, savory jerk flavor.

Bring the signature heat and aroma of Jamaican cooking to your kitchen with Grace's Hot & Mild Jerk Seasoning. Packaged as a pair of 10-ounce jars, this Jamaican-style mix combines Scotch Bonnet pepper heat with warm allspice (pimento), nutmeg, and earthy thyme to season meats, vegetables and stews. Use it straight from the jar as a rub or mix it into marinades to recreate classic jerk chicken, oxtail, or to add Caribbean flair to slow-cooked dishes.

How do I use this seasoning to make jerk chicken at home?

Use the seasoning as a dry rub or blend it into an oil- or vinegar-based marinade for deeper flavor penetration. Marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results, then grill, bake, or pan-sear until charred and aromatic.

• Rub 1–2 tbsp per pound of chicken for a bold crust.
• Mix with 2 tbsp oil and 1 tbsp lime juice for a quick wet marinade.
• Marinate 2–12 hours; high heat grilling brings out smoky notes.

Can this seasoning be used beyond chicken and oxtail?

Yes — the blend is versatile across proteins and vegetables. Try it on pork, shrimp, roasted sweet potatoes, or stirred into stews and curries to introduce a fiery Caribbean backbone without needing multiple spices.

• Sprinkle on roasted vegetables before baking for caramelized spice.
• Add to braises and slow-cooked pork for depth and warmth.
• Use a light dusting on grilled shrimp or fish for bright heat.

What is the heat level and how can I adjust it?

The Hot & Mild two-jar set balances Scotch Bonnet pepper heat with aromatic spices for a medium-to-hot profile. To reduce heat, mix the seasoning with yogurt, coconut milk, or oil; to increase intensity, layer with Grace Hot Pepper Sauce or a pinch of extra ground Scotch Bonnet.

• Lower heat: combine with dairy or coconut milk to mellow chile tones.
• Higher heat: add Grace Hot Pepper Sauce or extra ground pepper.
• Layering tip: pair with Grace Dry Jerk Rub for more pronounced smoke and char.

How should I store and use these two 10 oz jars for best freshness?

Keep jars tightly sealed in a cool, dark pantry away from direct heat and sunlight to preserve aroma and potency. For maximum flavor, use within 12–18 months and avoid introducing moisture into the jar when scooping.

• Store sealed at room temperature, away from stovetop heat.
• Use dry spooning to prevent clumping and spoilage.
• Label opened date and aim to use within 12–18 months for peak intensity.

Who is this for? Home cooks who want accessible, authentic Jamaican flavor in everyday meals will appreciate Grace Jamaican Hot & Mild Jerk Seasoning. It suits backyard grillers, busy families looking to add spice without complex prep, and adventurous cooks experimenting with Caribbean dishes. The two 10 oz jars are ideal for households that use jerk seasoning regularly or for sharing — giving enough product to season multiple batches of chicken, oxtail, seafood, and roasted vegetables while retaining the distinctive taste of Jamaica.
