I seriously cannot remember where I heard this but it works. A good pinch of cardamom in a recipe that has cinnamon, especially a really cinnamon forward recipe like many holiday baked goods, really pops. Makes the cinnamon flavor more bold and fresh tasting without being overpowering. It’s like a magic trick.

Bake on, comrades.

Also, I guess share some baking or cooking tricks in here.

    Yeah, just a touch of the fresh stuff is plenty.

    Though with leftover ground cardamom you can add some to coffee. Turkish coffee often has cardamom in it.

    I should try this since I have some mid ass grocery store coffee right now and a few bits of green cardamom sitting around.
