Mixed Spice Recipe...


If you bake alot like I do, you may come across recipes that call for mixed spice. Mixed spice is a sweet spice mixture and is frequently called for in traditional recipes for cakes, biscuits and old fashioned puddings and pies. I have never been able to find a jar labeled "mixed spice" in the markets where I am living so I found the recipe to make up my own. If you've been searching for it as well, gather your spices and make up your own batch. Here are 2 variations for it. I use the first one.

Mixed Spice 1
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon allspice
2 teaspoons mace
1 teaspoon ground cloves

Mix all ingredients together and store in airtight glass jar.

Mixed Spice 2
1 teaspoon ground allspice
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon grated or ground nutmeg
pinch black pepper

Mix the spices together and store in airtight glass jar.
