Homemade Mixed Spice – Épices Mélangées
A few times, I’ve had some of my subscribers asking what Mixed Spice is – let’s not confuse it with allspice, as they are not even the same. I gave them a link from Amazon 💻 and then realized that the ingredient blend was quite simple. That is why I’m posting this quick homemade recipe.
I should’ve thought of making this blend earlier because when I moved to Vancouver, there was only one grocery store 🛒 that carried it. Back in Toronto, it wasn’t a problem finding it, but it sure was here. As I’ve never really looked for it in the United States, I can imagine it might be the same scenario as here in British Columbia.
I’m not sure if it is a Québécois “thing”, but there are a lot of recipes where Mixed Spice is used. My mother and father use it, and so does everyone else in my family. It’s a blend that goes in my Tourtière (Meat Pie) 🥧, Creton Maison, and Ragoût de Boulettes avec Pattes de Cochon (Meatballs with Pig’s Feet Stew), just to name a few…
If you are not familiar with this spice or cannot find it at your grocery store, now you can make it at home 🏡. Make sure to store your Mixed Spice in an airtight container…
