DIRECTION

Step: 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, rinse under cool water, and drain again.

Step: 2

Meanwhile, combine mayonnaise, lime juice, soy sauce, vegetable oil, brown sugar, parsley, vinegar, allspice, thyme, marjoram, ginger, garlic powder, salt, nutmeg, pepper, and cinnamon for jerk sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

Step: 3

Combine cooled pasta and cooled jerk sauce with pineapple, ham, and onion. Place in the refrigerator until chilled and flavors have developed, about 1 hour.
