25th Street Jerk Pork Ribs Recipe
Serves: 3-4

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons red wine or red wine vinegar
½ cup Dwyer Jamaican Jerk Rub
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 ½ - 4 pounds pork ribs (baby back recommended)
¼ cup orange juice
Black pepper to taste (optional for extra heat)
Instructions:

Marinate the Ribs:

In a large container, combine olive oil, sugar, red wine (or vinegar), Dwyer Jamaican Jerk Rub, soy sauce, and orange juice. Mix well.
Place the ribs in the container and turn to coat them lightly with the marinade.
Refrigerate and let marinate for 3-4 hours, ensuring there's enough marinade left for basting the ribs on the grill.
Prepare the Grill:

Prepare a low fire in a charcoal grill. Once the coals are ready, rake them to one side.
Place a drip pan next to the charcoal to catch drippings and position the ribs over the drip pan for indirect grilling.
Cover the grill and cook on low and slow heat for about 4 hours, or until tender. Turn the ribs and brush them frequently with the remaining marinade. If you desire more heat, add black pepper to the marinade.
Maintain the fire at a steady 225 degrees, adding more coals as necessary to keep the temperature even.
Finishing Touches:

In the last 10 minutes of cooking, dust the ribs with a light coating of Dwyer Jamaican Jerk Rub for an extra flavor kick.
Serve and Enjoy:

🌟 Celebrating a Pioneer: Mary Seacole 🌟

This International Women's Day, we at Dwyer Spices are honored to shine a spotlight on a remarkable Jamaican woman whose legacy embodies the spirit of resilience, compassion, and pioneering achievement - Mary Seacole.

Born in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1805, Mary Seacole broke barriers as a nurse and entrepreneur during the Crimean War. Facing racial prejudice and being denied the opportunity to serve in an official capacity, she funded her own journey to the front lines. There, she established the "British Hotel," a sanctuary for wounded soldiers, earning her the affectionate nickname "Mother Seacole."

Her autobiography, "The Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands," is one of the first by a mixed-race woman in Britain, offering insight into her incredible journey and the challenges she overcame.

In 2004, Mary Seacole was voted the greatest black Briton, acknowledging her invaluable contributions to nursing and healthcare. Today, we celebrate her as a symbol of courage and dedication, a woman who paved the way for future generations with her unyielding spirit and heart of gold.

Mary Seacole's story reminds us of the power of determination and the impact one individual can make, regardless of the obstacles in their path. Let's carry forward her legacy of kindness, bravery, and trailblazing achievements.
