Allspice (Pimenta dioica) takes its name from its aroma, which smells like a combination of spices, especially cinnamon, cloves, ginger, & nutmeg. The flavor is warm & sweetly pungent. Dried allspice berries resemble large brown peppercorns. Unripe berries are harvested & sun-dried until the seeds in them rattle. Whole dried allspice will keep indefinitely when kept out of light in airtight jars. It can be ground in a spice mill or an electric coffee grinder. The ground spice loses flavor quickly. Allspice works well in combination with chili powder, cloves, coriander, garlic, ginger, dry mustard powder, & pepper. Use allspice to flavor vegetables, soups, pies like apple pied pumpkin pie, chili sauces, various puddings, baked goods like cookies, bread, rolls & cakes, gravies, hamburgers, meatballs, & various stews be they beef or lamb. Allspice is an important ingredient of pickling spices. Choose between 4 different sizes. Oval swing-top clear glass spice-preserve bottle. Resealable stand-up pouch.
