Does this mix work for fruit cake?

Recommend toasting the mace, allspice, cloves and coriander as this brings them back to life and also makes them easier to powder.

I think the main reason that there is too much nutmeg flavour is that Allspice and Mace are the same thing. so I personally would not add the extra 2tsp of ground mace.. Allspice/Mace is the flower around the nutmeg nut which is dried and ground. it has a similar flavour to nutmeg but is way…

Nutmeg and mace are from the same plant, allspice is entirely different
