Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix jerk seasoning with the oil in a small bowl (this will thin it and cut the heat). Trim any excess fat from the pork loin, leaving a thin-layered wide strip down the center of the top. Evenly rub the entire pork loin with the jerk seasoning mixture. Place pork loin in a shallow greased roasting pan, and bake for 20 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 300 degrees F and continue baking for about 1 more hour, or until a meat thermometer stuck in the thickest part reads 145 degrees F. Remove from oven and let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Lightly spray the grill rack or broiler pan and rack with cooking spray. Preheat the grill on high or preheat the broiler.
• In a food processor or blender, process all the seasoning blend ingredients until smooth. Transfer to a large shallow glass dish.
• Add the pork to the seasoning blend, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally.
• Grill the pork or broil about 4 inches from the heat for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until slightly pink in the center. Sprinkle with the salt. Serve with the lime wedges to squeeze on top.
• Cook's Tip on Jerking and Jerk Seasoning
• Jerking, a method of cooking in Jamaica, involves rubbing meat with, or marinating it in, a fiery-hot, intensely flavored mixture, then grilling it. Although chicken and pork are the most commonly jerked foods, beef, goat, and fish can also be prepared this way. Jerk seasoning almost always includes some Scotch bonnet or habanero chiles, but we lowered the heat a notch here by using jalapeño. Other very typical jerk seasonings are allspice, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, thyme, garlic, and onions.
