I am now! ‘Tis the season and I’m getting myself prepared for a whack of pumpkin recipes. That’s the plan anyways. Instead of buying Pumpkin Pie Spice, I made my own. I bet you have all the ingredients in your spice rack right now. Go take a look – I’ll wait!

What is Pumpkin Spice Made of 

Pumpkin Spice is made up of a handful of spices. The star of the show is cinnamon, but the supporting cast of ginger, nutmeg, cloves and allspice brings it all together into one fragrant package. I put mine in a mason jar in my pantry.

    What is the Difference Between Apple Pie Spice and Pumpkin Spice

    Apple pie spice is a mixture of allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon, where there are other ingredients in pumpkin spice as you see in this recipe. Both have the main ingredient of cinnamon, so it makes sense that people can see that they are pretty similar in flavor.  

    You will find both of these spice blends are incredible and add so much warmth and flavor to your recipes.

    What Does Pumpkin Spice Taste Like 

    Pumpkin spice offers a rich and warm blend of spices. The main component is cinnamon so you have that as the stand out spice. Then the ginger adds a nice warmth to it. If you smell the blend you will find it tastes similar to how it smells. You can use pumpkin spice in drinks, baking, and dusting the top of your baked goods and drinks. 

    Does Pumpkin Spice Expire

    Pumpkin spice when stored properly can store up to 2-3 years. But when you make your own, you want to look at the date on each spice you are using. If one is nearing expiration you will want to factor that in on when you need to discard your spice blend. 

    The biggest thing is most spices don’t expire, they simply lose their potency in what they bring to the recipe. 

    So if you are making a drink or a baked good that uses pumpkin spice, consider roaming your cupboard before heading to the store to buy a container. Make it, and toss in a glass jar and label, and tuck away for next year’s recipes.

      Looks so simple to make….that’s it I’m gonna try and make my own blend this autumn!

    4. M Thompson says:

      Thanks for the recipe. It will come in handy for my fall baking.

    5. I was so happy to find this on Pinterest- thanks! It’s now my go-to blend. I had to double it, since I use 3/4 t. of it daily in my pumpkin smoothie! I added a little mace- wondering if that would affect it one way or another? I had it in the cabinet, and know it’s used in similar dishes as the other spices. Anyway, I know this was posted last year, but I thought you’d be happy to know that it’s still circulating!

    6. I’m trying to find my favorite pumpkin spice blend. I’ll have to give this one a try! Thanks!
