ALLSPICE

Allspice, aka Jamaica pepper, Myrtle pepper, Pimento, or Newspice, is a spice which is the dried unripe fruit of the Pimenta dioica plant. It's name "allspice" was started by the British, who claim it combined the flavor of several spices, such as cloves, pepper, and even cinnamon and nutmeg. Allspice has its own aroma but hotter and more peppery.

Jamaica pepper started in Jamaica, and was probably first found by the Spanish explorers in Jamaica around beginning of the 16th century. It was introduced into Europe after that. It is almost exclusively grown in Jamaica.

The most common form is the dried fruit and grounded. If you pulverize the whole spice yourself it provides the best flavor and the shelf life is longer. Fresh leaves are also used when available, the dry leaves will lose a large amount of their flavor so put them in the food while cooking and then remove them before serving. The leaves and wood are often used for smoking meats in Jamaica .

Allspice is one of the most important components in Caribbean cooking. It is used in Caribbean jerk seasoning, in mole sauces, and in pickling; it can also be found in commercial sausage preparations and curry powders. England is a large user of Allspice in many dishes. Even in Germany it is used in large quantities by commercial sausage makers.

Allspice is a small shrub tree that is very much like the bay laurel in size and form. Male and female blossoms grow on separate trees, one of each tree is needed to produce berries.
