Jamaican Jerk Pork
As with some of my other recipes, this is not prepared the way I've seen it by most cooks, but tastes similar. I don't rub the jerk-sauce on the meat and barbeque. Instead, I shred up left over pork roast and saute it in the jerk sauce. Usually I use pork that I have smoked on the water smoker.
