Allspice (sometimes called pimento) is the dried, unripe berries of a tropical tree native to parts of South America. It was called allspice (even though it is a single spice) as it is reminiscent in flavour and aroma to many of the spices that were known to the Spanish who found the dried berries being used in the Americas, such as cloves and cinnamon. It is used alot in sweet dishes, and can be used as a substitute for
cloves if that flavour is too strong. It is used in pickling, jam making and mulling, and is a great ingredient in BBQ mixes. It is used alot in Jamaican recipes, and in mixes for marinading chicken, meat, fish and seafood. Mix with ground black pepper to create a softer, aromatic table pepper.
