Put allspice, nutmeg, peppercorns and thyme in a spice or coffee grinder and grind to a fine powder.
Mix in remaining ingredients and use immediately. To use later, omit garlic and ginger and store in a tightly covered container; add garlic and ginger immediately before using.
Add scotch bonnet peppers for the heat, which makes it really authentic.
The various ingredients do make a quick jerk seasoning, but one that is shockingly salty, For my taste, the recipes for jerk flavoring in Julia Moskin’s and David Tanis’ recipes for jerk chicken aere very much preferred. If you prepare as Bittman prescribes, I’d suggest you leave the salt out altogether and salt the meat or vegatables separately, to your own taste.

This made boneless chicken breasts really delicious. We cooked them on the grill and they were moist with a great taste.
No Scotch Bonnet or peppers of any kind? Hmmmm. Also, how authentic is the ginger?
