They own. I stumbled onto them ages ago when an African neighbor gave me a bunch in trade for some of my chiles. Grab a package and throw them into a pepper mill. Put them on or in any meat dish you grill/cook. Use them whole wherever you would use cloves. Thank me later. Think pepper the spice rather than pepper the fruit, though. You don't use the pods themselves, just the seeds/grains inside them. I mainly use these when grilling any meat and as a general substitute for cracked black pepper, but I also put them into a whole lot of the wines and beers I craft. One of my past girlfriends also used to toss it into fruit desserts like apple pie. I don't really bake and can't speak to that, but the flavor worked well in her pies.
