I have a freezer recipe that calls for allspice and, I keep forgetting to pick up allspice when I go to town for my shopping. Well, in a pinch, I decided to do a search for how to make my own allspice and found not the greatest information, but found a pretty simple version that has worked for me.
The ingredients in allspice are:- Ground Cinnamon
- Ground Nutmeg
- Ground Cloves
Here's the recipe...Wait for it! It's equal parts of those three ingredients mixed up. So in this case, I used 1 teaspoon of each to make it, but you could use 1 tablespoon to make it up to store. My recipe conveniently calls for 3 teaspoons, so using a teaspoon of each really works for me.
Check out those blogs I love to link up to in the right column of my blog!
Allspice may taste like the combination of the three spices you mentioned, but is actually a different spice altogether. It is yummy sprinkled over vanilla pudding, btw. Stay cool. The prairies on the eastern plains of Colorado are hot and dry. Just like in the mountains. Have a nice holiday week.♥♫
ReplyDeleteIt is good to know a little more about Allspice - there was limited information on the internet about it, and when I couldn't find it on the shelf, I had to come up with my own version for a freezer recipe. I have since found it, but I always like to have a back up plan, here on the prairie! Thanks for the information!
