Allspice tastes like a combination of cloves, juniper berries, cinnamon and pepper, and is used frequently in baked goods. The spice derives its name from the Portuguese pimenta, Spanish pimienta pepper, which it was given due to its resemblance to peppercorns. To make your own blend of allspice take equal amounts of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves; mix together. Store any unused portion in an air-tight container.

Clove is a common kitchen spice most noted for studding ham, but also used with pot roast, beef tongue, in spice combinations for sausage, herbal teas, soups, peaches, tomatoes, and onions.
