In the 1600’s, when the island of Jamaica was under colonial rule of the Spanish and British, a group of African slaves escaped to the Blue Mountains in the interior of the island where they encountered the natives of the island, the Arawak Indians. These Indians originated from South America, and had brought with them the traditional meat preservation method of smoke drying. It is believed that the group of escaped slaves, today called Maroons, perfected the Arawak Indian’s method of smoke drying, adding a spicy marinade of ingredients they found on the island, like pimento berries (allspice) and Scotch Bonnet peppers.
