Each Caribbean island comprises a diverse mixture of cultures and races that directly influence our cuisine. Within this cultural melting pot, traditional recipes can have slight differences depending on what region of the country you are from.
This recipe for a homemade Jamaican Easter Bun with Cheese is a perfect example of regional differences for one dish.
Unlike our Jamaican Bun and Cheese recipe, this version has honey, currants, and calls for a sweeter, more fruity version.
We have also omitted some alcohol, but the original flavors you would expect from the traditional Jamaican treat are still there.
Both buns are served during Easter as the local alternative to Hot Crossed Buns, which you can read about in the Jamaican Bun and Cheese recipe.
This recipe shows you how deliciously diverse one dish can be while still representing the traditional local flavors of Jamaica.
