Allspice is a spice made from the dried unripe fruit of the Pimenta dioica plant, a tree native to the Greater Antilles, southern Mexico and Central America. The name "allspice" was coined by the English, who thought it combined the flavour of several aromatic spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. If you need a substitute for allspice combine equal parts of ground cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and black pepper. I would not substitute allspice for nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon unless you also need the peppery notes it will bring.
You should be careful using nutmeg, in large quantities it can be extremely toxic. But it depends on how many cloves you have. I don't usually use just nutmeg for the toxic reason, but a mixture of cinnamon and nutmeg. Say you have 6 cloves, you would use 1/4 tsp cinnamon and 1/8 tsp nutmeg. Hope this helps!
yes but it won't taste the same Allspice would be a better alternative than nutmeg as it has a flavor that tastes like a mixture of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
