Allspice is one of those spices that I use so infrequently that it doesn’t really make sense for me to keep it on hand. Instead, I make my own allspice alternative! This homemade “allspice” works in recipes just as well as the real thing. It’s easy to mix up in a matter of minutes!
Ingredients
- nutmeg
- cinnamon
- cloves
Method
Mix up equal parts of these three spices, and–voila!–you have an easy-peasy allspice alternative!

This mix would be great in pies or chai, anywhere else it calls for pumpkin pie spice! Great combo.
You probably already know this… BUT, allspice isn’t a blend of spices, it is one spice, and a wonderful one to keep around. The flavor is unmatchable. Plus it’s great for improving blood flow, especially blood flow to the pelvic region-boosts fertility!
Thanks for the info on allspice. I knew it was a single spice, but I had no idea how many wonderful benefits were in it! Hmmmm….I may have to buy it after all…and only use my alternative in a real pinch.
looks easy enough, thanks for sharing
You’re welcome!
I buy the organic powder by the lb and put it in my health drink everyday…not for its good taste, but for all its wonderful health benefits. I also add lots of cinnamon.
