Reddish spice (8)

I believe the answer is:

cinnamon

(Other definitions for cinnamon that I've seen before include "Spice from dried bark" , "Something spicy" , "Yellow-brown spice from bark of Asian tree" , "Yellowish-brown - spice" , "Aromatic tree bark used as a spice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune.
