Five Spice

Thanks for the replies. Somehow I cannot see adding dill and coriander to a sweet recipe...maybe it's just that small amount and the others would be more dominant flavours.

When i look up the ingredients in 'pumpkin pie spice' it includes cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger and allspice. That sounds like a reasonable mix for fig rolls. Will give it a try next time I make the recipe.

Hi there, the flavours you need are cinnamon,star anise and a little nutmeg.
The Chinese 5 spice would be too dominant in a sweet recipe.

I think mixed spice is what is needed a mixture of cinnamon, cloves nutmeg ginger dill and coriander.

We use it for cake making etc. So suitable for sweet dishes.
