What is ground sweet mixed spice made from in baking?

Ground sweet mixed spice is usually a blend of several warm baking spices, often including cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and sometimes cloves or ginger. The exact mix can vary between brands, but the aim is to create a rounded, gently spiced flavour that suits cakes, biscuits, puddings and other sweet dishes.

Can sweet mixed spice be used instead of individual spices in recipes?

Yes, sweet mixed spice can often stand in for a combination of separate spices in baking recipes. Instead of measuring several different jars, a spoonful of Fox’s Spices Ground Sweet Mixed Spice 500g can bring a similar warmth and complexity, particularly in recipes like fruit cakes, muffins, biscuits and spiced loaves.

What is the difference between sweet mixed spice and pumpkin spice or allspice?

Sweet mixed spice is a blend of several spices, while pumpkin spice mixes and allspice are slightly different. Pumpkin spice blends are often tailored to autumn-style bakes and may lean more heavily on particular spices such as cinnamon. Allspice, by contrast, is a single spice made from pimento berries, with a flavour that reminds many people of a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves but without being an actual blend.
