Mixed spice

The scent of holidays and Mum's home baking, mixed spice is an essential jar on the spice rack.

What it is, what it does
Mixed spice is a blend of sweet spices traditionally used in English cooking to provide a warming backnote. Specific ingredients vary from brand to brand but typical components are cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg. You may also find caraway, cassia and coriander seed included.

In the kitchen
Essential for fruit cakes, plum pudding, and hot cross buns, mixed spice is a great addition to other fruity desserts such as apple pie, crumbles and compotes. Try it in cream cheese desserts, pickles and mulled wine too.
