The "N" Spices

Nutmeg

(Indonesia, Trinidad)
The hard seed of the peach-like fruit of an evergreen
tree native to the Moluccas, or Spice Islands.
Watkins selects the seeds from Penang and
Singapore because they are the richest in oils and
impart an exotic nut-like flavor.
Use in baked goods, eggnogs, custards, cheese,
egg, fish and poultry dishes, whipped cream toppings,
doughnuts, fruits, spinach and boiled
vegetables, cream soups, fruit soups, ice cream,
sweet potatoes, hot milk drinks, hot alcoholic
drinks, sweet doughs, muffins, coffee cakes, cakes
and fruit cakes, frostings, applesauce, crêpes,
stewed fruits, beef, ham, and sausages.
