    Pumpkin Spice Mix

    Did you know pumpkin spice does not include pumpkin in any form? The spice blend is called Pumpkin Spice because it is largely used to make a pumpkin pie or pumpkin butter.

    You don't need to wait until Fall to make and use this spice mix.

    It is so easy to make a small batch of pumpkin spice mix and most probably you would already have these spices in your pantry. This spice mix can be used in so many ways that you won't regret even doubling this recipe.

    I had to make this batch when I made Pumpkin butter, and used it to flavour a lot of bakes too.

    Ingredients

    If you have ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice or cloves in your drawer, then you will never need a store-bought pumpkin spice mix. All you need to do is, stir the ground spices together in a clean airtight container. There you go, ready to bake all your pumpkin spice treats.

    Like most recipes on this blog, this one too yields a small amount so you can test if you like it or want it only to bake for a small family. But be assured, you can easily doube the recipe to yield more.
