Jerk Chicken (or Pork) Kebabs
In Jamaica, jerk
is smoked over a bed of allspice (pimento) wood. Since
that commodity is quite rare for North American grillers,
mesquite chips sprinkled over the coals will do quite
nicely.

Watkins Root Beer Extract Recipes
(special thanks to Watkins Executive, Karen Hagen for these recipes!)
Homemade Root
Beer
Combine 1 cake yeast, 2 oz.
Watkins Root Beer
Flavor, 3 gallons of water and 4
lbs. of sugar. Then…bottle the mixture leaving 2 inches at
top of bottle. Let set 3 weeks. The mixture "works" so it
must be bottled with a cap.
-
1 cup brown sugar
-
1/2 cup butter
- 1 egg
-
1/4 cup buttermilk
-
2 tsp Watkins Root Beer Flavor
-
1 tsp Watkins Vanilla Extract
-
1-3/4 cup flour
-
1/2 tsp baking soda
-
1/2 tsp salt
Combine sugar, butter &
egg. Beat until fluffy. Stir in buttermilk, extracts,
flour, baking soda & salt. Mix until smooth.
Cover bowl and refrigerate dough at least one hour. Drop
dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets
about 2” apart. Bake for 6 to 8 min. or until cookies are
very lightly browned. Remove cookies to wire rack &
cool. Frost cooled cookies with Root Beer Frosting.
Makes 42 cookies.
-
2 cup icing/powdered sugar
-
1/3 cup butter
-
1 tsp Watkins Rood Beer Flavor
-
1-2 TBSP hot water
In bowl, mix together the sugar
and butter until smooth. Stir in Watkins Rood Beer
Flavor and enough of the water to make a smooth
frosting.
Root Beer Candy Pillows
These candies taste just
like Root Beer 'Barrels'! (Makes 100.)
-
2 cup white sugar
-
1/1 cup light corn
syrup
-
1 TBSP Watkins Root Beer
Extract*
-
1/1 cup water
-
Dash salt
Combine sugar, syrup, water and
salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook to 290ºF
(soft-crack stage) on candy thermometer. Add Watkins
Root Beer Flavoring and allow to set for a few seconds
before stirring.
Mix well and pour into 8"x8"x2"
pan** that has been sprayed with Watkins Cooking
Spray. Let stand a few minutes until slightly cooled
and a film forms over the top.
Mark candy into "puffs" 3/4"
square (because candy is cooler at edges, start marking at
the outside and work toward the center, using a spatula or
pancake turner). Press a line across pan ¾" from edge. Be
careful not to break the film. Repeat around pan,
intersecting lines at corners to form squares.
If lines don't hold shape,
candy is not cool enough. Retrace lines, pressing
spatula deeper, but do not break film. When spatula
can be pressed to bottom of pan on all lines, candy will
be shaped into square puffs.
Cool thoroughly and break into
puffs. Store loosely covered in a cool, dry
place.
* Also try this recipe with
Watkins Butternut, Caramel, Anise
or Peppermint Extracts.
** If
desired, syrup at this point can be poured into metal
candy molds.
