Directions
As others have said, the wood is pimento or allspice, and has no relationship to the capsicum pimento. There is an excellent book on Jamaican jerk by Helen Willinsky, "Jerk, Barbecue from Jamaica", The Crossing Press, ISBN 0-89594-439-1, $10.95 soft cover. Here is a recipe for jerk marinade from her book.
Combine ingredients, and processin blender or food processor. Marinate chicken in refrigerator for at least four hours before cooking.
