Realizing a Jacobian as a projective variety

This is a follow-up to this question (and my answer thereto). Given an algebraic curve, is there a way to realize its Jacobian explicitly as a zero-set of a bunch of polynomials in $\mathbb{P}^n.$ I care most about the complex case, but all ground fields are of interest...
