Celebrate Jamaican Easter with Bun & Cheese!
It's Easter time, so I'm reposting a popular recipe for bun & cheese and the story that goes along with it. Enjoy! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The Story of the Jamaica Easter Tradition From The Hot Cross Buns Yum, let’s all have a hot cross bun. Jamaicans probably remember the universal ditty associated with the delicious treats— "Hot cross buns, hot cross buns One a penny, two a penny Hot cross buns; If you have no daughters, give them to your sons. One a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns." Sung quite a bit at Easter time, the song reminds many of childhood delights, but most people probably don’t...
Read MoreMake Your Own Jamaican Jerk Sauce for Chicken or Fish
Little David's Jerk Sauce Little David owns a jerk pit (Little David's Jerk Centre) in the village of Boston near Port Antonio, Jamaica, where jerk was born. Here's our rendition of his delicious jerk sauce & we think it's a pretty good copy. Below, we'll give you a recipe for baking jerk chicken in the oven. It's not quite the same as the one cooked over the coals and pimento wood, but we think you'll love it anyway. Give it a try! Recipe makes about 1 3/4 cups (enough for 3 to 4 pounds of chicken) 2 c. (about 8) chopped green onions, both white and green parts 2 or 3 hot chiles,...
Read MoreJamaican Ginger Beer Recipe | Make Your Own!
About Jamaican Ginger Beer I love ginger in every form... fresh, dried, pickled (for my sushi), candied (or crystallized), ground/powdered... whatever. It's ALL good! It's a little sweet but a little spicy & peppery. They say that Jamaica grows the best ginger in the world, because the soil and climate is perfect for the plant. Ginger beer (really a fermented ginger-flavored soda) is very popular in Jamaica. It's similar to ginger ale, but zingy-er! I love it alongside spicy jerk. It's also very good at settling an upset stomach. The Jamaican ginger beer recipe follows this short history...

Read MoreJamaican Coffee Industries Limited ® | Café Reggae recipe
One thing I ALWAYS stock up on during my Jamaican adventures is coffee! IMHO, Jamaica produces the world's best coffee. I start every morning with a taste of Jamaica's eastern parishes (Portland (where my heart is), St. Thomas & St. Andrew). But I drink coffee all day long, so the pricier Jamaica Blue Mountain® can get pretty expensive! I buy, and actually prefer, Jamaica Mountain Choice (or High Mountain) which is grown outside the Jamaica Blue Mountain® "zone" (at a slightly lower elevation). It's flavor is smooth, sweet and delicious, you can find it in every supermarket and at the...
