The "A" Spices

Allspice

(Jamaica)
Ground from the dried berries of an evergreen
tree growing in Jamaica, Mexico, Guatemala and
Honduras. It takes its name from its flavor, which
is said to be a combination of cloves, nutmeg,
cinnamon and pepper. Excellent in baking or in
Caribbean or Middle Eastern meat dishes; also
great in puddings, baked fruits, cakes, cranberries,
barbecue and brown sauces, cooked vegetables,
cookies, pickles and relishes.
