EMERGENCY - All Spice Alternative

I have just come into the kitchen to try the Jamaican Rice with Peas, which calls for All Spice in the recipe. I thought I have some, but its Spice Mix I have, which appears to be for fruit rather than a rice dish. Is there any alternative to this?

TIA,

Me!

    no, don't use the 5 spice powder, use a little bit of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves instead of the allspice.

    Hi Zziggi, its in the Old Style Recipe Index nailed to the top of this forum. But to save you hunting it down, I've copied the link:

    We quite like it, and it was easy to make. Will defintely try it again in future! Maybe with some fried chicken, yum! Makes loads too, my OH had some today and said it was really nice!

    Good luck!
