•3/4 cup water
•1/3 cup lemon juice
•1/3 cup chopped onion
•1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
•1 tablespoon chopped green onion

•3/4 teaspoon salt
•3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
•3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

To make the marinade, place the water, lemon juice, chopped onions, brown sugar, chopped green onions, black pepper, thyme, and cayenne pepper into a food processor or blender.
