cortguitarman what is your recipe for the Jerk marinade ?

I got the recipe from the dizzy pig web site. It obviously uses Jamaican Firewalk, which I have, but I substituted a jerk seasoning that my wife and I bought while we were in JamaicaCharlesmaneri said:cortguitarman what is your recipe for the Jerk marinade ?
Ingredients
¾ cup white vinegar
½ cup orange juice
Juice of 1 lime
3 tbsp Dizzy Pig® Jamaican Firewalk rub
¼ cup olive oil
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1″ cubes
6 jalapenos (optional but you want them. No, you really do)
Instructions
Mix the first four ingredients. Then slowly pour the oil into the mixture, whisking briskly. Marinate the chicken in this mixture for 3-4 hours. Note: When I’m normally using whole bone in thighs, I marinate them longer.
Cut the jalapenos in half, remove the seeds with a spoon, and then cut the halves in half. That would be quartered, in case you are bad at math like me. Basically you want 1″ cube pieces. If you are totally afraid of heat, you can use bell peppers instead. If you are a chili head, use habaneros instead.Mark Annville, PA -
This is a trial run. I'll report back with the results.Mark Annville, PA

cortguitarman I have spent a lot of time in Jamaica and since then I use Scotch Bonnet peppers or as the Jamaicans say country pepper I think that it is actually a Habanero pepper all I know for sure is it is VERY HOT !!!2 Large Eggs and a Mini 2 Pit Bulls and a Pork shoulder or butt nearby and 100% SICILIANLong Island N.Y.

@ringkingpin I always hated beets as a kid and I'm still hesitant about them, but this is a dish that I discovered last year and it has changed my opinion of beets. I love them prepared this way. My twin 3 year old asked for more! The recipe came from allrecipes.comMark Annville, PA

Pork chops? Yay! Beets: Nay! Man, no how hard I try to like beets, I just can't. I can't even look at something that bleeds on my plate. There are only a few things on this planet I won't eat: Liver and beets are in the top 5.

No way this tread was going to happen w/o you and @henapple in it over beets. After several Shiners henapple got to eating Short Travis's baby food. _zps32285da9.jpg" target="_blank">Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now).
