I a?m glad he did, because the world needs to try this spicy treasure.The ingredients are simple: scotch bonnet peppers, pimentos, nutmeg, thyme, ginger, cinnamon, garlic, onion, cane sugar, scallions, black pepper, vinegar, and more, but the way it?s blended sets it apart from other jerk sauces I? have had.I marinated a block of tofu with about 5 tablespoons of jerk sauce and let it sit over night in preparation for my parent?s grill…. There? is no extra oil involved, but just make sure it does not stick to the grill.The jerk sauce seemed to permeate the tofu in such a manner that it did not make the tofu unbearably hot to eat, but rather made the heat kick in subtly and then all of a sudden, there is a blast of those scotch bonnet peppers.Making jerk sauce is an art and Grandpa Eddie i?s an artist.
Soon, after indulging in sweet reds and whites, fruit and dessert wines from two more wineries, Lauren and I met John and Megan for more sampling under the southwest Jersey sun.We walked around, stopping at every single winery, trying and sampling, learning a few things on the way about wine and grapes…. The Bent Spoon uses organic and local ingredients also.The festival also had other great vendors like Eddie Fearon from Grandpa Eddie Sauce, a Jamaican Jerk Sauce from Somerset, Shona from Wicks & Wishes, creator of soy candles and body care products from Sussex County, James from Bistro Blends NJ, from Highstown, distributors of fine balsamic vinegars and olive oils, and Harold, from All Natural, distributors of salad dressings, marinades, hot and BBQ sauces.
