Allspice (1.7 oz)

Ground allspice is made from the dried, unripe berry of the Pimenta dioica tree. Its flavor resembles a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, hence the name, and it's a staple of Caribbean, Middle Eastern and Latin American cooking.

The flavor is strong, so use it sparingly. In savory dishes, add it early so it blends with the other ingredients; in sweet dishes, it can go in at the end.

Great on: curries, stews, braised meats, cakes, cookies, pies

Ingredients: Allspice.
