Mace is the vibrant red outer membrane that grows around a nutmeg, turning orange on drying. Mace has a similar flavour to nutmeg but is somewhat stronger, more pungent and has a slightly more savoury scent. Historically mace has been a popular spice with the English and has been used in anything from spiced wine to potted shrimps to sweet biscuits.

uses: Add a pinch of ground mace to a flavoured butter for seafood or steaks. Add in place of mixed spice to biscuit mixes or cakes.
