Come October 1st, we’re all about allspice. That’s because so many of our favorite fall and winter recipes (particularly the sweet ones, but some savory dishes too) call for allspice. Contrary to its name, allspice is not actually a blend of “all the spices.” Rather it’s a specific spice that hails from Jamaica and is harvested from larger-than-life pimenta trees. However, it’s complex flavor does taste like the very best combination of cinnamon, nutmegs, and cloves, hence its all-inclusive labeling.
Substitutes for Allspice
Leave it to our community members to come up with seamless substitutions for ground allspice that work perfectly in sweet and savory recipes alike. “I'd recommend a mixture of four parts ground cinnamon, one part ground cloves, one part nutmeg,” says CarlyFarine. Mix the three spices together and measure out as much allspice as your recipe calls for.
