mace replacement

http://frugalliving.about.com/od/makeyourowningredients/r/Mace-Substitute.htm

Substitute the mace called for in your recipe with an equal amount of nutmeg. Since mace is the membrane that surrounds nutmeg, the flavor will be similar.

You can also use allspice, cinnamon, ginger or pumpkin pie spice. Replace measure for measure.
