| Mace
like nutmeg is used to flavor cakes and other sweets, but mace is also
used in many savory dishes. These include meats, sauces, curries, pickling, ketchup,
and even Worcestershire sauce.
Mace can be used as a nutmeg substitute in most recipes. This spice is sweeter and milder, but has a similar flavor to nutmeg. Mace is often used in place of nutmeg when dark colored flecks of nutmeg might ruin the appearance of certain dishes. Ground mace can be substituted in light colored sauces, clear broths, omelets, and mashed potatoes. Crush or grind whole mace just prior to use in order to release its essential oils, flavor, & aroma. Mace should be added at the begin of the cooking process to allow its full flavor to come out.
