Cook Time: 8 min
Difficulty: Easy
1 tablespoon Dora’s Jerk Seasoning, recipe follows
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup light soy sauce
2 pounds pork tenderloin
Caribbean Dipping Sauce, recipe follows
Special equipment: 2 dozen (10-inch) wooden skewers soaked in water for 20 minutes, then drained well.
Dora’s Jerk Seasoning:
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried, crushed Scotch bonnet pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried chives
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
Caribbean Dipping Sauce:
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 to 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 (18-ounce) jar orange marmalade
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
Cut tenderloin in half crosswise. Cut each half lengthwise into 4-inch thin strips. Place pork in a heavy duty re-sealable plastic bag.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, and jerk seasoning. Pour over pork. Seal bag, and marinate pork in refrigerator, 1 hour.
Turn on broiler.
When ready to cook the pork, line a broiler pan with aluminum foil. Lightly grease rack and place on pan. Remove pork from bag; discard marinade.
Thread pork onto skewers in an “s” shape. Place skewers in a single layer on a prepared pan. Broil 5 inches from heat for 8 minutes, turning once. Serve warm with Caribbean Dipping Sauce.
Dora’s Jerk Seasoning:
Combine all ingredients in a bowl until well mixed. Store in an airtight container.
Caribbean Dipping Sauce:
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add pepper and ginger, and cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low, and stir in marmalade, lime juice, and salt. Simmer 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
*Cook’s Note: Jalapeno peppers are extremely hot. We recommend wearing disposable gloves when handling them.

I have made this many times and this is a nice change from burgers and pork chops. I have made them for superbowl party's and a couple of bbq parties and they are always the focus. This will always be in my top 10 go to reccipes.
