What or who is Busha Browne?
In 1836, Howe Peter Browne, 2nd Marquess of Sligo returned to Westport, Ireland, taking with him memories of the spicy and exotic dishes he had been served during his governship of Jamaica.
The Busha Browne Story
Known as “The Emancipator of slaves”, the noble Marquess had earned himself a renowned place in Jamaican history for his two year term of office. His had been the unenviable task of supervising the first stage of Emancipation which was unpopular with the reactionary planters for whom the abolition of slavery assuredly meant financial ruin. In desperation, many of these planters subsequently sold their vast estates to the local managers who were known as “Bushas”.Sligo himself was among the first to free his slaves on his Jamaican estate – Kelly’s and Cocoa Walks estates – which he had inherited from his ancestors, the Kellys and Brownes of Ireland, who were Jamaican settlers from the late 1600’s. The Brownes became wealthy and were among the respected members of the plantocracy, and were famous for their entertaining and the variety of food they served. In Jamaica their name has always been pronounced “Browney”.
A descendant of the family Sligo, Charles Adolphus Thorburn Browne – familiarly known as Charlie Browne – has spent most of his 75 years “cooking up a storm”. He whiled away many hours of his boyhood days in the kitchen of his family home, Tryall Estate in Hanover, Western Jamaica. Later, cooking became a hobby, and he retrieved from his family archives recipes for authentic Jamaican sauces, jams, pickles and condiments made from the great variety of exotic Jamaican fruits and vegetables; all unique, spicy and delicious. Specially selected recipes from his treasure trove are now being prepared and bottled for Busha Browne’s Company in Jamaica, to be enjoyed today as much as they were over 200 years ago.
The array of products is substantial and choosing is hard. So I will make it easy: start with the spices, a bbq sauce and a chutney or preserve. It’s that easy and from that you can begin figuring out what to cook; exploring recipes and then decide on what else you need to buy from Busha Browne’s fine collection of products.
What to think about when you cook:
Busha Browne’s products complement many styles of international cuisine, as well as recipes from Jamaica’s culinary traditions. All natural, no preservatives, low in sodium, Busha Browne’s products can be used in varied ways to bring new taste and flavour to your table.
Jerk Honey BBQ Sauce:
Use this on chicken, ribs, pork, beef and even ham or turkey! There are no mistakes with this great sauce!
Smokey Jerk BBQ Sauce
Treat foods the same way or use this with chili or beans.
Busha Browne’s invites you to try the following suggestions:
Baking –
ideal oven temperature ranges from 300 to 450 °F (149 to 232 °C). Cooking of foods made from a batter or dough. Such foods include breads, cakes, cookies, and pastries. However, casseroles, a few vegetables and fruits, and some cuts of meats can also be baked.
Roasting –
cooking of meat. For example, a turkey or a leg of lamb is roasted. In roasting, the meat can be placed on a rack in a shallow pan and cooked uncovered in an oven. The temperature should range from 300 to 350 °F (149 to 177 °C).
Broiling and Grilling –
the food lies directly over/under a continuous heat source. Meat can be broiled by placing it on a rack in a shallow broile pan. The surface of the meat lies 3 to 5 inches (8 to 13 centimeters) under the flames in a gas range broiler or below the broiler heating unit in an electric oven. Leave the door open slightly when broiling in an electric oven to prevent the air in the oven from becoming too hot.
Barbecuing –
highly seasoned meat can be grilled over hot coals. In panbroiling, the meat cooks in a skillet over a burner. The fat that melts from the meat is poured out of the pan as it accumulates.
Frying –
In deep-frying, a large amount of fatcan be used and heated to about 350 °F (177 °C) in a heavy saucepan or an electric appliance, a good way of cooking chicken, French fried potatoes, and shrimp and fish. In pan frying/sautéing, the food cooks in a small amount of fat, usually in a skillet. Chicken, eggs, fish, and red meat can be pan fried. In stir-frying, meat or vegetables cook in a skillet or in a wok, The food can be cut into small pieces and cooked in an extremely small amount of fat. The cook fries the food at a high temperature for only a few minutes and stirs it constantly with a tossing motion.
Boiling –
ideally has a temperature of about 212 °F (100 °C). Good for Potatoes and other vegetables using a sauce pan over a burner.
Simmering –
Such foods as eggs and meats should be simmered rather than boiled. Use covered saucepans to simmer foods. Use caution when using a slow cooker for meat and other foods prone to bacterial growth at warm temperatures. Use sanitary methods in preparing the food and keep it refrigerated until just before cooking.
PLUS you want to keep some of these products for table use as well. It’s so simple– use it everywhere you like to cook or want to juice up the taste and create an amplification of flavor.
