Jamaican Jerk Seasoning

This is a very basic recipe to make your own Jamaican Jerk Seasoning instead of buying a store bought one. You can adjust the amounts of the spices to your liking if you want. Don't like spicy? Leave out the cayenne. Want it spicier? Add more cayenne or use habanero pepper powder and adjust to your taste buds.
This seasoning is great on all types of meat!. I have used this seasoning on pork ribs, pork chops, pulled pork, pork tenderloin, chicken, turkey, tilapia, salmon, swordfish, plantains, potatoes, etc.
