Contrary to popular opinion, allspice is not a combination of spices. Also known as Jamaican pepper, it comes from the berry of the pimento tree.
Yes, that’s why it says in the post that this is a substitute for allspice, Gwen. Thank You.
I am a little confused, to me this is mixed spice rather than all spice. All spice is the alternate name given to pimento.
