4 Spices: pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove

The 4-spice blend has its origins in Jamaican pepper, Pimenta Dioica, a very fragrant berry also called all-spice or allspice. It is so named because its leaves, once crushed, release notes of clove, nutmeg, sometimes ginger, and of course, pepper. This is how allspice became a mixture of 4 distinct spices: pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove. What to use 4 spices with?
