🥘 Ingredients
Most store-bought versions of pumpkin pie spice contain cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. Black pepper and cardamom are untraditional but add a new layer of flavor to the blend.
- Cinnamon
- Ground ginger
- Nutmeg
- Cloves
- Allspice
- Black pepper
- Cardamom
🔪 Instructions
- Whisk all of the spices in a small bowl.
2. Use a funnel to pour into a jar.
🥣 Storage
Store the spice blend in an airtight container for 1-2 years. I like to use either a Mason jar or these glass spice jars to store the blend in.
🌟 Top tip
Make sure your spices are fresh. Spices lose their taste, potency, and color over time, which won't help to add any flavor to your recipes.
💭 FAQs
Sure! This recipe is flexible in the sense that the quantities of the spices can be adjusted to your liking. If you prefer more cinnamon, add more! Don't want to add black pepper? Leave it out. That's the beauty of making your own spice blend.
