Home Made Jerk Seasoning
Seasoning is the life and soul of our food as Black people. Have you ever noticed that many of our seasonings are full of salt? One way around this is to make your own seasonings at home. It is quick, easy and empowering. You do not have to rely on the manufacturers, and you can be in charge of how much salt goes in.
