Ingredients needed
Odds are, you probably have everything you need in your spice cabinet right now. You just need to combine them in the right proportions.
This recipe makes about 5 tablespoons so double it if you bake often in the fall!
- ground cinnamon
- ground ginger
- ground nutmeg
- ground allspice
- ground cloves
TIP: If you are using spices from last year, make sure they are still good before you mix them together. Open each jar and give it a sniff. It should have a strong, pleasant smell. If the spice smell "off" or you can barely smell it, toss it and replace it.
How to make pumpkin pie spice
To make the pumpkin pie spice blend, whisk the spices in a bowl until they are well combined. I like to use a small whisk to help distribute the spices more evenly, but a small spoon will work as well.
Once the spices are combined, transfer the mixture to a container with a tight fitting lid. I love to use Weck jars (affiliate link) to store spices in.
TIP: Make spice blends in small batches to preserve freshness.
How to store
Once you've made your pumpkin pie spice, you may store it for up to three years, if the spices you used were fresh. If they are from a previous baking year, store for one more year and check for freshness before baking.
