I don’t think they are spicy but spiced. They are not hot but they have spices. My mother made these when I was growing up and I think they are the best topping for biscuits. The cloves in them made them taste so very good. Moms didn’t have the ginger in them but I think it probably makes them taste even better. Luv2gardeb shares the recipe.
