For spicier jerk pork, add more scotch bonnet peppers or habaneros. If you don’t have a slow cooker, you can also make this recipe in a Dutch oven or oven-safe pot. Just cook the pork shoulder in the oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 6-8 hours, or until it’s tender and falling apart.

Pat dry meat with a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and rub with jerk seasoning. Wrap with plastic and refrigerate overnight.

In a blender, combine the remaining ingredients. Blend for about 30 seconds.
