One of my favorite places to create shortcuts in dinner prep is by using dried seasoning blends. Go ahead, take a look at the ingredients listed on the bottles! So many time, things you would have had to buy several different seasoning for are already packed up in one nice little bottle. And you can often use them for more that what you might think! This Caribbean Jerk seasonings is one of my favorites to use in lots of dishes!

Use this simple seasoning and a little canola oil to sear up this lean pork roast. Deglaze the pan with a little tequila to give it a nice little kick. Then add some pineapple juice and frozen pineapple chunks for some sweetness to offset the spice and give the roast plenty of liquid to keep it juicy all day.

  1. 4 stars
    I made this last night with several variations based on the ingredients I had on hand, and it was pretty good. I substituted orange juice and frozen mangoes for the pineapple, and it tasted great! I also added some red peppers that were about to turn in my fridge, and those added some flavor. I also ended up with a much bigger tenderloin but got a late start on the dish, so I cooked it on high for the first hour and a half, then switched to low. It was done within two hours after that! I actually overcooked the pork by mistake, but it was still tender. I think the cooking times may be a bit off, which is why I gave it four stars. Lastly, the grocery store didn’t have jerk seasoning, so I made my own – it might be a good idea to link a recipe to it if others have the same issue. Overall this was great and I’ll definitely make it again!

  2. How many limes do I need for this? From the photos it appears that they are squeezed over the meat as it is being seared. Is that correct?
