Ok! I really like how my jerk chicken came out. It's very spicy and not very sweet. So you should adjust the cayenne pepper and splenda according to your tastes.

Jerk Marinade

2 tablespoons ground allspice
2 tablespoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
3 teaspons ground sage
1 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
1.5 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons garlic powder
1.5 tablespoons of splenda
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
3/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup lemon juice
Juice of 1 lime

mix together the dry ingredients, then mix in the wet ingredients. I put mine in a bottle and shook it up. That seemed to work really well. It makes a very thick marinade. If it's too thick for what you are marinating use some water to thin it.

I mixed like three teaspoons of the mixture up with my precooked chicken chunks. It was a little too much marinade Anyway.. this is good to experiment with once you have the basic recipe made. Originally it had habenero peppers, chopped white onions, green onions, 2T real sugar, and 1/2 c orange juice instead of lemon juice. The not really on plan recipe tastes sweeter, citrus-y-er, and much much hotter.

for chicken marinate it for at least a half hour or more. for fish or tofu I'd suggest less time. Grilling is best, baking also works pretty well.
