In demand globally, Jamaican patties are scrumptious! A genuine Jamaican patty is made of ground beef, usually spiced with onions, pimento (allspice), thyme and the heat of Scotch Bonnet peppers, and then wrapped in a flaky pastry crust with a distinctive yellow-orange color, which comes from various sources like annatto seed, turmeric or food coloring. They are about 8″ long rectangles with a half-moon shape, and there is a distinct horizontal grain running through the crust. Appetizer-sized (or “cocktail”) patties can also be found – they make great party food!
