- 1 Teaspoon sugar
- 3/4 Teaspoon crumbled dried thyme
- 1/2 Teaspoon ground cinnamon

Procedure
Marinate Chicken
Prepare 1 day in advance. In a large bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients; add chicken and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
Sauce
- 1/2 Cup California raisins
- 1/4 Cup light soy sauce
- 11/2 Tablespoons jerk seasoning
- 1/2 Tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 Cup crushed pineapple with juice
- 1/2 Tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/4 Cup California golden raisins; for garnish

Sauce

(The paste will be very sticky). Add remaining sauce ingredients except the golden raisins and process until completely smooth. Transfer sauce to storage container; cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

In a small saucepan, heat sauce. Grill or broil chicken until cooked through and arrange on a serving plate. Spoon some sauce over each piece and sprinkle with golden raisins. Garnish with slices of tropical fruit and serve with rice.
