The only time I've used allspice is in making apple pies! So what's it really all about?The pea-size berry of the evergreen pimiento tree, native to the West Indies and South America, though Jamaica provides most of the world's supply (allpice is also knows as Jamaica pepper). The dried berries are dark brown and can be purchased whole or ground. The spice is so named because it tastes like a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Store in a cool, dark place for no more than 6 months. llspice is used in both savory and sweet cooking.
