Making Your Own Spices
It’s everything pumpkin season and I couldn’t be more excited!
Pumpkin Pie Spice, also known as Pumpkin Spice, is a spice mix most often used in pumpkin pie. However, the options are endless! It’s an amazing addition to all of your favorite fall recipes!
We’ve all been there – you go to whip something up and realize you’re missing an ingredient. Have a recipe calling for Pumpkin Pie Spice? Have no fear!
You can mix up a fresh batch of Pumpkin Pie Spice in less than a minute with spices you already have in your spice cabinet! Not to mention, it’s far less expensive to make your own!
This spice blend is just as amazing as the store bought version. I’ve been mixing up my own spice blends for years and I’m excited to share so many new spice recipes with you including Allspice, Apple Pie Spice and Mulling Spices. Basically everything you ever wanted or dreamed of for fall!
It’s super easy to add to all of your fall baking! You can even sprinkle a little on top to garnish! It’s the prettiest accompaniment on top of whipped topping, coffees and hot chocolate.
Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice also makes a beautiful fall gift! Add a gift tag or include it in a basket with some of your favorite baked goods! I love these spice jars with chalkboard labels!
