Allspice



Allspice

Allspice (also called Jamaica pepper) is, despite its name, really only a single berry. It is typically made from the extract of the bayberry tree, which grows on the island of Jamaica. Its flavor is where it inherits its name, with allspice taking on the flavors of cinnamon, cloves, and a touch of nutmeg. It has a sweet but heavy flavor to it, and is very popular because of this. Frequent uses include using the whole allspice in stocks, fruit pickles, and baking with wild game. Ground allspice is found in spice cakes, puddings, cookies, gravies, and is an absolute necessity in Caribbean jerk dishes.
