So does it contain only spices or does it contain all the spices that there are? What spices do you add when you are cooking with Allspice?

When I make a Cinnamon Applesauce bread I add a little bit of allspice. Gives it a tiny variation from the stores. I also add Allspice to my pumpkin pies.

It's actually the dried, unripened berry of a Caribbean tree called Pimenta dioica. The 16th-century English named it 'allspice' because it combined the flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
