Ingredients and Directions

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 (allspice is also

known 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. As with other spices, it

should be stored in a cool, dark place for no more than 6

months. Allspice is used in both savory and sweet cooking.
