Mace is the sister spice to nutmeg. It's the dried webbing (aril) that surrounds a nutmeg seed, which means their flavors are very similar, though mace is subtler and less potent. Mace can be used just like bay leaves and dropped whole into stews and braises where the flavor can be extracted over a long cooking period.
