Description
Mace and nutmeg are
from the same tree, a large evergreen native to the Moluku Islands and the East
Indian Archipelago. Nutmeg's warm flavor is bolder than mace's. Like mace,
nutmeg is used sparingly and is most often used as a dessert spice, especially
for cakes, cookies, and pies. It also pairs well with cream sauces and cheese
dishes.
