Cook’s Tip on Allspice

Step 4

The berry of the evergreen pimiento tree and native to the West Indies and South America, allspice is so named because it tastes like a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Use allspice for a piquant flavor in foods from soups, stews, and meats to cakes and fruit dishes.
