Pumpkin Spice Ingredients

What is Pumpkin Spice?!

Pumpkin Spice is a blend of spices that are interchangeable in all dessert recipes for the months of October and November calling for things like cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.  It is basically all the spices that assault your brain when you smell pumpkin pie. 

Hopefully, you like that smell. 

If you are a big baker then it makes sense to make a batch and keep it on hand for the season.  However, if you just need it for the one recipe then we have you covered too.

I am not a huge “spice blend” fan.  I think it’s the minimalist in me that doesn’t want to keep another bottle on hand.  I am perfectly A-OK with mixing the blend as needed.  However, if you need a larger batch then it’s easy to scale up.  These will keep blended for as long as the individual spices.  “They,” say spices go bad after six months.  I’m pretty sure I have some that are older than my children.  Que sera, sera!

Pumpkin Spice Blend

On last note before we blend, there are no hard and fast rules here. If you prefer more cloves then adjust accordingly. If you hate allspice just omit it!  It’s your mix and as long as you add a bit of each you’ll still get that awesome pumpkin spice flavor.
