Apply generously to meats like chicken, pork, or beef during the last 15-20 minutes of grilling or baking to allow the sauce to caramelize and form a delicious crust. It can also be used as a marinade for at least 30 minutes before cooking, or stirred into stews and chili for an added layer of heat and flavor. For a quick snack, use it as a dipping sauce for grilled vegetables, shrimp, or even as a spread on sandwiches.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike milder barbecue sauces, this habanero jerk variety delivers a pronounced heat from the peppers, balanced by the distinctive spices found in jerk seasoning, such as allspice and thyme. It offers a more complex flavor profile than a standard sweet or smoky BBQ sauce.

How to keep the rest
