Allspice:
: the berry of a West Indian tree (Pimenta dioica) of the myrtle family; also : the allspice tree
2 : a mildly pungent and aromatic spice prepared from allspice berries


and mixed spice is a blend of sweet spices. These are the spices that make up mixed spice but I have no idea of the proportions

Coriander Seed, Cinnamon, Caraway Seed, Cassia, Nutmeg, Ginger, Cloves.
