Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 3 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 3 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 pepper Scotch bonnet pepper (or 1 teaspoon chili flakes for milder heat)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Ground allspice
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the lime juice, orange juice, soy sauce, and olive oil to form the liquid base of the marinade.

Step 2

Add the honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and Scotch bonnet pepper (seeded for less heat, or left whole for more spice) to the liquid base. Whisk well.

Step 3

Sprinkle in the thyme leaves, ground allspice, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 4

Taste the marinade and adjust seasonings as needed. You can add a touch more honey for sweetness, lime juice for acidity, or allspice for depth.

Step 5

Pour the marinade over your protein or vegetables of choice (approximately 1 to 1.5 pounds). Ensure that the food is completely coated for maximum flavor.

Step 6

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but preferably 4 to 8 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate.

Step 7

When ready to cook, remove the food from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Grill, bake, sauté, or broil as desired.

Step 8

Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving for an added burst of freshness.
