This finely ground mixture is usually found on the spice shelves of shops, but it loses flavour quite quickly. Here is a South African version, which can be crushed in a mortar and pestle or ground in a blender. Keep tightly closed away from sun. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons whole cloves |
2 tablespoons allspice berries |
2 cinnamon sticks |
1 teaspoon black peppercorns, whole |
3 tablespoons ground ginger |
3 tablespoons ground nutmeg |
Directions:
1. Grind or pound together the whole spices, then add the 2 ground spices.
2. You could grind them finer in a coffee bean or spice grinder, or in a blender.
3. It does not have to be finely ground!
4. Store in an airtight bottle.
5. This mixture is often used sparingly in puddings, cakes, cookies, and in milk-based or custard-based desserts.
6. It adds a delicious flavour to meats.
