Product description What is Allspice? Contrary to what its name suggests, allspice isn’t a blend of other spices—it’s a unique ingredient that lends its distinctive flavor to fall desserts and savory dishes like Jamaican jerk chicken and Swedish meatballs. Allspice is the dried brown berry of the tropical Pimenta dioica tree, a clove relative native to the West Indies and Central America. It got its name in the 17th century, when allspice berries were first imported to Europe, since it’s said to taste like a combination of clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Allspice berries are harvested when green (unripe) and briefly fermented, then sun dried (or machine dried), during which they turn a reddish-brown. The perfect substitute Allspice can be used as a substitute, measure, for measure, for cinnamon, cloves or nutmeg. Conversely to make a substitution for allspice, combine one part nutmeg with two parts each of cinnamon and cloves. A versatile spice Allspice can be used to flavor everything from jerk chicken to gingerbread! It is a key ingredient in pumpkin pies, and adds some extra zest to apple pies. Allspice is also frequently used for pickling, vegetable, fish and meat dishes. Allspice ideas Allspice has a powerful flavor and fragrance: only a pinch will do! Add a couple pinches of allspice when making glühwein or chai tea. Try sprinkling a pinch on roasted vegetables for a hint of warmth. Its subtle peppery overtone adds depth to stews, curries and soups.
