The day that she came up with this recipe, Denese Crutchfield was at home enjoying her day off. One of her neighbors came by and said “Hi, are you from Jamaica?” Denese said yes, and the neighbor responded, “Do you know how to make oxtail?” Denese then offered to make oxtail for her neighbor. In the process of making the seasoning for the oxtail, Denese realized she wanted to make the recipe more nutritious and give it a different flavor, so she added in some honey!
Denese is an administrative receptionist at Envoy of Woodbridge in Woodbridge, Virginia.
