Pumpkin Pie Spice Recipe
How to make pumpkin spice blend using cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves for a simple homemade mix.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Combine 3 tablespoons cinnamon , 2 teaspoons ground ginger , 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg, 1 ½ teaspoons ground allspice, 1 teaspoon ground cloves and mix thoroughly.
- Transfer to an airtight spice jar and label. Shake well before each use to ensure even distribution in recipes.
Notes
Makes approximately ½ cup.
Storage: Store the pumpkin pie spice blend in an airtight jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It will stay fresh for up to 6 months. Always shake before using to redistribute the spices. If you're doubling the batch, I recommend storing the spice jar in the freezer for fresher, long-lasting flavor.
Helpful Tips:
- Even mixing - Use a small whisk or fork to fully combine the spices, especially the heavier ground cloves and nutmeg, so every pinch is balanced.
- Grind spices - Consider grinding your own spices like cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg as the freshness makes the blend more vibrant.
- Make ahead - This spice blend can be prepared in bulk for seasonal baking and frozen for longer storage and fresher batch.
