Allspice combines the distinct flavours of nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. It can be used in any recipe as a substitute for cloves where a milder flavour is desired. Allspice is native to Jamaica & Central America. Allspice is used as an ingredient in peppermill mixes, pickling spices, marinades for red meats, marinades for fish, pate/terrines seasonings and in stewed fruit compotes.
