Jerk Wild Pork is one of the more unique tasting things I have made before, and I highly recommend it if you have wild or regular pork on hand!

I have had a back ham from a wild boar my husband shot, in our freezer for close to half a year now. I have been trying to think of different recipes that might mask certain off flavors that sometimes accompany a 100+ pound wild boar. It worked great with the Pork Dumplings I made a couple of months back, but it was not as good in other recipes I attempted. Thinking of cuisines with strong aromatic flavor profiles normally brings me to Asian food, but something else that came to mind was Caribbean!

I love jerk chicken and the strong normally spicy flavors that accompany it. Furthermore, I had never really seen wild pork used in a jerk recipe, but I had a feeling it would be delicious.

Another side I wanted with it was some mango salsa. I have been wanting to try mango salsa for a while now. I always see pictures of this bright sweet dish on Instagram. The combination of the flavorful pork with the sweet and slightly spicy salsa on top of a soft Hawaiian bun was absolutely delicious! If you have a hog that you think might be a little off, this is the perfect recipe for you. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family did!

I have never tried a mango salsa, but I have always wanted to! This Jerk pork recipe was the perfect opportunity to give it a shot. It has sweetness from the mango and pineapple while also having some spicy from the habanero. This salsa, which is a little more like a pico de gallo than a normal salsa, marries perfectly with the strong flavors of the jerk pork and is one of the more unique things I’ve eaten before.

This works on more than just the pork. I ate it as I would any other salsa, on some lime tortilla chips, and it was great there too! I could only assume it would be a great bright flavored side to accompany any Mexican dishes as well. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did!
