Have any of the below spices on hand?

Allspice, black peppercorns, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, mace

Best Bet: Cloves & Cinnamon

1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp black peppercorns

If you have cloves and cinnamon on hand, 1 part cinnamon for 1/3 part cloves is about the right mix.  In a pinch, freshly ground cinnamon will get the job done, but won't quite give the same depth of flavor.
