Mace spice is a somewhat sweet spice that combines cinnamon, pepper, and citrus flavors. It is often used in cake and pastry dishes. Additionally, it may be used to season casseroles, soup, seafood, and vegetables. To add flavor to sauces, soups, or stews that need a lengthy, slow cooking period, whole mace blades may be used in place of a single bay leaf. Split open, the mace aril may be cooked in stock or added to recipes calling for rice to give them a fragrant touch. It's also a typical element in pickling solutions for veggies like beets and cucumbers.
