A few people asked for my recipe for Jerk Seasoning.  I have attached it.  I
like to use it on a whole pork tenderloin which I then roast and use for
sandwiches or serve in pitta with salad.  Chicken thighs are also very, very
good when marinated in Jerk Seasoning then cooked over hot coals.

Jerk Seasoning

1 bunch spring onions
2 - 6 Scotch bonnets or habaneros
1 tbs allspice berries, ground
2 cloves garlic
1/4 tsp salt
black pepper
1 tsp dried thyme
2 tbs white wine vinegar
1 tbs soft brown sugar

Finely chop the things that need chopping and then mix all the ingredients
together.  Stick it in a food processor and chop it up as finely as possible. 
Keep in the fridge for a day to allow the flavours to blend.  Will keep for ages
in the fridge (it's probably not safe to keep it for 3 months but I have done so
in the past with no ill effects).
