Jamaican jerk marinade

Look at the beautiful colors!

What I had:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
• juice of 1 lime
• 2 Scotch Bonnet peppers (thanks to a generous friend)
• handful of grape tomatoes (I used about 8)
• 1 medium red onion, peeled
• 4 scallions, with about 4 inches of the greens
• 6 cloves of garlic
• 1 inch of ginger peeled
• 2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon dry thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 4 teaspoons whole allspice
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper for taste

When you don't have a glove ...

What I did:

• Put the first 3 ingredients in a food processor
• Coarsely chop all fresh ingredients and throw them in (use gloves for the peppers, or improvise with a bag if you forget to buy gloves)
• Add all spices
• Grind them together
• Taste for salt and pepper

Use as salsa, or marinade for chicken in slow cooker.
