  blends
sweet quatre epices: sweet quatre epices, french four spice
ingredients: allspice, ginger, nutmeg, cloves
   

A classic French blend used in a similar way to mixed spices. The blend is far stronger and more pungent than mixed spice as it lacks the milder sweet spices such as coriander and cassia, but adds a distinct spiciness, colour and a dark and mysterious depth of flavour.

uses: Add a pinch to cakes - particularly dark fruitcakes, biscuits or desserts.
