Jamaican Jerk Sauce Vanilla

[DonnaMarieNJ]

Hi Everyone!

I have a question if someone could help me....

I have a bottle of "Jamaican Jerk Sauce Vanilla" which lists the ingredients as vanilla concentrate, water, caramel, spices. It is a thick sauce and I have no idea how to use it. It hasn't been opened, because I'm afraid, once opened, I'll have no idea what to do with it, and then it will just sit in my fridge and go bad.

Any idea what to do with it? Can I marinate chicken in it? Vanilla chicken? I don't eat fish, so that is out.

Thanks, in advance!

Donna

Like everything I have a question about, I googled this.

It's basically just another Jamaican Jerk sauce used in open pit barbecuing. They call it jerk because you are jerking the meat around (turning it several times). Their jerk sauces come in Rum, vanilla, chutney and lots of other different flavors, much like our barbecue sauces do. Jerk sauces are spread on meat and the meat is slow cooked. OH! and you do marinate the meat in this sauce from 4 to 12 hours before cooking it.

Let us know how you liked it!

Thanks. I had already googled it before I posted the question and the site for the company that makes it either didn't answer my question, or the e-mail was returned, I don't remember which. For all I know they are out of business!

If I wanted to, could I just put it on a hamburger like ketchup? Or must it be cooked?

BTW, never knew what "jerk" meant. To me, it always meant hot.

Me, too. Maybe not hot, but spicy. But this is what the definition was, on the web site that I was looking at. I would think, as with any barbecue(jerk)sauce that you can spread it on a hamburger. But I would do it before cooking it, not after it, since it is meant to be a marinade.
