In Jamaican jerk seasoning, what spice is also called pimento?

In Jamaican jerk seasoning, the spice also called pimento is allspice.

Allspice is the dried, unripe berry of the tree Pimenta dioica, which is native to the Caribbean and parts of Central America. In Jamaica, the spice is commonly called pimento or Jamaica pepper. It is a single spice, not a premixed blend, despite its name and its flavor profile, which can suggest cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg.

Allspice is one of the defining ingredients in Jamaican jerk seasoning, alongside Scotch bonnet peppers. Jerk preparations may also include thyme, scallions, garlic, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, soy sauce, or vinegar. The seasoning is used with chicken and pork as well as seafood and other foods.

“Pimento” can cause confusion because in many English-speaking countries it means a sweet red pepper or the small red pepper used in stuffed olives. In Jamaican culinary usage, however, pimento refers to allspice. Pimento wood and berries have also traditionally contributed flavor and smoke to jerk cooking.
