'''Mixed spice''', also '''pudding spice''', is a mix of sweet spices commonly used in [[Cookbook:Baking|baking]], [[Cookbook:Dessert|desserts]], and with [[Cookbook:Fruit|fruit]], particularly in [[Cookbook:Cuisine of the United Kingdom|British cuisine]], and in cuisines that derive from it (e.g. the old colonies of the British empire).
 
 
 
The mix almost always contains [[Cookbook:Allspice|allspice]], [[Cookbook:Cinnamon|cinnamon]], and [[Cookbook:Nutmeg|nutmeg]]. Often, other spices are added to the mix, including [[Cookbook:Coriander|coriander]], [[Cookbook:Clove|cloves]], [[Cookbook:Ginger|ginger]], and [[Cookbook:Mace|mace]].

Blend all spices together, and store in a sealed jar away from light.

# Wearing protective gloves, break up the chilies into small pieces, and remove the seeds (or leave the seeds in for a hotter and slightly bitter flavor).
 
# Toast the chilies, cumin, coriander, cloves, and allspice in a dry skillet over low heat, stirring continually until you can smell the peppers (about two minutes). Depending on the size of the skillet and the amount of peppers you may need to do more than one batch.
 
# When the toasted ingredients are cool, pour them into a food-processor or blender along with the other ingredients, and grind it into a powder. '''Do not open the food processor lid until the powder settles.'''
 
# Store in an airtight jar.
