What is in Lebkuchen Spices? How to Make Lebkuchengewuerz.
""Lebkuchengewuerz" is called for in many German recipes. Similar to the mixtures we have in the US, like apple pie spice or pumpkin pie spice, Lebkuchen Spice Mix is a combination of baking spices that are very familiar. Cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and allspice, but also coriander and cardamom, which are not common in American spice mixes, make the honey and nut treats found in Germany at Christmastime so unforgettable. If you do not have access to packets of "Lebkuchen Spice", you can make it at home, with this recipe. See larger image..."
