This jerk seasoning is a thick paste that you rub on chicken, pork, shrimp, fish or veggies. It’s best used as a marinade.
As I tasted it from the jar, it’s quite salty, but I’m hoping that subsides after marinating overnight, and after cooking. My initial reaction is that the flavor is not as good as Pick-a-Peppa’s Jerk Seasoning, but I could judge further after actually cooking with it.
Ingredients:
Scallions, Scotch Bonnet Peppers, Salt,
Black Pepper, Allspice, Nutmeg, Citric Acid, Sugar, Thyme
We have some chicken legs and thighs marinating right now, and I’ll post more after we grill them up!
Update:
The chicken breasts grilled up nice and crispy and browned on the outside, and was tender and moist inside. Beware! This jerk seasoning is *VERY HOT* because of the Scotch Bonnet Peppers. All said, I still much prefer the Pick-a-Peppa Jerk Seasoning.

I’ve never heard of “jerk” seasoning but I wouldn’t mind giving it a go. I love spicy foods although I don’t like it when the food is so hot that you can’t really taste the food. I’ll keep a look out for the Pick-a-Peppa brand that you recommend.

You are in for a treat.
Walkerswood is a spicy (not deadly hot) mix of scotch bonnet peppers, herbs, and flavors. Not a lot of tomato based stuff but instead mostly good fresh herbs.
They’ve got a great menu, even a chutney spice.

@Mikey,
Walkerswood is indeed very spicy!
I included it in my comparison of 4 jerk seasonings here:
