Herky Jerk Spice
Put it on EVERYTHING. Well, almost everything.
Wait, let’s set the mood before you start reading…
If you’re already following on Instagram, you got early access to this recipe. How? Why? Because it’s so simple and the pictures came out too good to not immediately share!
The best part is that you can probably make it with things you already have in your pantry. You can even play around with the ratio of ingredients to make it a little spicier or more garlicky - whatever you like. We’re big fans of encouraging you to do things you like around here. Actually, aggressive mutual support is also an essential part of our friendship.
Also, it’s worth mentioning that after two hours of brainstorming a name for what is essentially a homemade dry rub, Megan deliriously blurted out “herky jerk” so we giggled and went with it! Plus, it’s a nod to her Jamaican roots despite not being *literal* jerk seasoning. Though if it’s authentic jerk seasoning the people want - let us know and we’ll put it on the list! 🇯🇲
And as the name claims, here’s how to make that at home along with some recommended uses:
