Spices bring so much flavor to recipes and having a well-stocked supply comes in handy. Especially around the holidays when certain spices are hard to come by in stores.
Since I have a well-stocked supply I find it easier to mix my own on occasion than trying to search for one particular blend. Around Thanksgiving pumpkin pie spice and pumpkin puree are hard to find.
Last year after searching all over for pumpkin puree I decided to make my own easy homemade pumpkin puree. Like the pumpkin puree, this year I decided to making my own homemade spice would be easier.
How To Make This Recipe
A while ago I decided that I wanted to start creating my own homemade spices. Homemade taco seasoning recipe was the first one I started making. Then after not being able to find any pumpkin spice in the grocery store, I started researching what was in this spice recipe.
Pumpkin pie spice is a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice all ground spices. All the flavors of fall combined into spice.
All of these spices I have been able to find in the store. The best thing about making homemade spices is how much more flavor homemade has versus the store-bought blend.
All I do when making this spice mixture is add all the ground spices into a mixing bowl. Then use a whisk to whisk them all together and break down any spice lumps there might be.
I do recommend storing the spice mixture in an air-tight container. This way it will stay fresh longer. I found these cute mini mason jars that work perfectly to store the pumpkin pie spice in.
I have read that many spices will last up to four years if properly stored. However, they will start to lose their potency over time. This is why I make a smaller batch of this. My rule is to keep checking it every 6 months (if it lasts that long) to make sure it smells fresh.
There are so many fall desserts that you can use this homemade spice in. The first would be pumpkin pie, cookies, breads, and cakes. Try flavoring your whipped topping, cream cheese frosting, or Greek yogurt with it. I'm off to brew some coffee with a teaspoon of this spice added into the coffee grounds.
When I make a recipe that has all the spices that are in this blend. I will add up the amount of those spices and use that amount of pumpkin spice instead.
