Ground Allspice

Available from Scandinavian Specialties when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

Jamaicans take great pride in their world-famous allspice, harvested from 40-foot pimenta trees. So named because it is reminiscent of clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg all at once, these Ground Allspice Berries lend a rich, warm flavor to barbecue sauces, jerk seasoning, gingerbread, and apple pie. Also available in whole.
