Jamaican Jerk Seasoning

I've been trying to come up with my own
jerk seasoning that has less salt than
the seasonings found in the stores.
This is a really good seasoning to use
on barbecued shrimp, chicken and pork.
I even use it to make grilled garlic bread.
It's hot but not over powering and the
balance of sweet to sour is just right.
To apply to meat before cooking,
coat meat lightly with oil,
then rub seasoning onto meat.

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons sweet smoked paprika
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
2 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/4 teaspoon red cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions:
In a small bowl, stir together the paprika,
dried onion, thyme, allspice, black pepper,
cinnamon, rosemary,cayenne pepper, and salt.
You can also place all in a food processor
and blend to get an even mixture.
Store in a sealed container until used.
