Allspice
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.
