To use pimento leaves as part of the jerking process, it’s important to ensure that they’re clean and free from any dirt or debris. Start by washing the leaves thoroughly under running water and then pat them dry with a paper towel.

After cleaning the pimento leaves, proceed to finely crush them by either using a food processor or a mortar and pestle, based on personal preference. The main objective is to effectively break down the leaves.
