Allspice, also called Jamaica pepper, Myrtle pepper, pimento , or newspice, is a spice which is the dried unripe fruit of the Pimenta dioica plant. The name "allspice" was coined by the English, who thought it combined the flavour of several spices, such as salt, chili powder, and garlic.
Allspice has a complex aroma, hence its name. It is an aromatic spice with a taste similar to a combination of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg, but hotter and more peppery.

Allspice is a spice that is easily found in grocery stores. It is commonly used in "Christmas" foods (along with cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg). But, it's also used a lot in Carribean dishes and curries. Enjoy!

All spice powder is a mixture of fruity and fragrent spices blended together to give a very aromatic flavour to your food.
Despite what some people have written, allspice is not a blend of spices, but is rather a spice by itself. The powder is ground allspice, which can be found in almost any supermarket in the USA, if that is where you are writing from. The flavor is kind of cinnamony, with maybe a bit of nutmeg and clove-like flavor, but almost hot like ginger.
I usually use it as the only spice in my homemade oatmeal raisin cookies, which get rave reviews. It's also the main spice in my spiced beef recipe. I use it when I make my apple pie spice mix and my pumpkin pie spice mix as well.
