This Grilled Squash recipe features Allspice. The flavor of allspice is easily replicated by simply mixing together equal amounts of ground cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Some prefer lesser amounts of cloves for this super flavorful spice blend that is essential for Holiday cooking.
You can choose other squash varieties as well, such as butternut, buttercup, blue Hubbard or even sweet potatoes.
