Allspice, Mexican Ground

Woodsy and fragrant, almost cinnamon-sweet fragrance that’s prickly with hints of pepper. Allspice is not a spice blend but rather, the dried, unripe berries of the Pimenta dioica tree.  

Ground Allspice is a standard ingredient in Mexico’s signature mole sauces, and the  Mexican stew birria. Use with cinnamon and cloves to make a classic Greek-style meat pasta sauce. Mix with ground beef for fragrant Swedish meatballs. Use in the coating for cubed lamb or chicken to make an alluring tagine. Blend with caramelized onions for a sweet onion jam, or toss over cubed butternut squash and roast. Rub on chicken wings and bake or air-fry. Stir into the custard for pumpkin pie or add to carrot cakes and muffins. Blend with sugar to make a succulent filling for apple pie. It is an indispensable ingredient for gingerbread. Ground Allspice Allspice is a potent spice so use sparingly at first, until you know how much you want in a dish.
