The easiest way to use allspice is to simply toss it whole into a liquid. This could be a pickling that uses other ingredients like star anise, clove, juniper berries, bay leaf, cinnamon, ginger etc. The next way is to grind your allspice fresh and use in rubs, flavored salts, marinades and even baked goods. Using allspice is really quite easy and the best part is it can be used in unison with other ingredients or by itself in place of others spices. Allspice can often be substituted in place of similar ingredients if you do not have them handy. Next time try using allspice in place of clove or even nutmeg.
