Pimento or Allspice is the dried berry of the West Indian allspice tree. It is also known as Jamaican pepper because it tastes like a combination of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and pepper.
It is aromatic and can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes including mulled drinks, Christmas pudding, pickles and marinades and Jamaican jerk chicken.
