Reminiscent of a pleasant combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, McCormick Whole Allspice brings complex, warm flavor and aroma to soups, stews and brines. We hand-pick whole allspice berries to ensure that they have peppery, sweet flavor. Use allspice in pickling liquids for vegetables and brines for larger cuts of meat. The whole berries add depth of flavor to slow-cooked corned beef & cabbage, stews and pot roasts. Aromatic allspice can also set the tone for a cozy evening of hot rum toddies, spiced red wine or mulled apple cider. Use a grinder or mortar & pestle to grind whole allspice for the freshly ground spice. Then use in baking gingerbread and spice cookies, or adding Caribbean flavor to dishes with fiery jerk seasoning.
