Allspice

Allspice Berries, Jamaican, Whole and Ground

Allspice has a flavor reminiscent of cloves, cinnamon and a hint of nutmeg. Even though its name suggests a mixture of spices, allspice is a single berry from the Jamaican bayberry tree. Its heavy sweetness lends allspice a great deal of versatility. Whole, it is used in poached fish stock, vegetable and fruit pickles, and for wild game. Ground, it is found in spice cakes, puddings, cookies, gravies, and is a key ingredient in Caribbean jerk dishes. If you make your own barbeque sauce, allspice is a great secret ingredient!
