Was good, except for the anise...will omit that. But will make this again. Had a bit of bite to it, might want to lower the amount of red and crushed red pepper if you don't like real spicy stuff. I love the heat...
Dry Jerk Spice Rub
Traditional in Jamaican kitchens, jerk seasoning packs a hot punch that is mellowed by the sweetness of sugar and perfume of spices such as cinnamon and allspice. To tame the heat, cut back on the ground red pepper. You can use this rub with pork, chicken, or fish.
Yield: About 1/2 cup (serving size: about 1 teaspoon)
