Happy Memorial Day 2016!

How about you make your own Jamaican jerk seasoning in a food processor by combining onion, jalapeño pepper, garlic, ginger, allspice and sugar. Add orange juice to make a marinade for island-style grilled chicken drumsticks.

Or…a Tex-Mex Flank Steak with chipotle salsa – both a key ingredient in the marinade and a condiment for the meat and vegetables in this recipe – that has a smokier, more full-bodied flavor than regular tomato salsa.

Maybe you prefer a Carolina Pulled Pork with Lexington Red Sauce. Carolina-style barbecue features a thin, vinegar-based sauce that gives the shredded pork a tangy kick. Vinegar-based sauces are typically lower in sugar than sweet, tomato-based sauces, and here, the sauce is brushed on a bone-in pork shoulder, also known as Boston butt.
