I love most things all-purpose for the obvious and simple reason that it works for everything, which makes life easier, which makes me happy. I myself am not an avid baker so this spice is the perfect partner to my pantry because it has everything I need to bake on a whim when I get in an every-now- and then baking mood and my sweet tooth runs rampant. For the sake of testing it out I got myself in the mood to bake and I whipped up the most gorgeous cinnamon bread by smothering it in the baking spices – in addition to some cinnamon on its own - and then topping it with a little butter once it cooled. The aroma coming from my oven was so intoxicating that I almost pulled a sleeping bag in there so I could fall asleep in it. I found a few other ways to use this spice without baking. If you’re a fan of tapioca pudding, which I have been since my Dad took me to Jerry’s Deli when I was kid, use these spices as a topping for that – it’s delicious and much healthier than dumping brown sugar all over it. It’s also great in oatmeal or cream of wheat and a small dash in your morning coffee is a nice little change up from sugar.
