Equal parts of star anise,
Szechuan peppercorn, cinnamon,
cloves, and fennel
seeds make up this mild, fragrant Chinese staple.
To add an exotic kick to holiday sweets, you might try substituting
five-spice powder for cinnamon
or nutmeg in spiced sweets such
as pumpkin or zucchini bread and spice cookies.
Buy premixed five-spice powder at the grocery store, or make
your own fresh blend by combining roughly equal amounts of
all five spices in a clean coffee grinder or blender.
