Pumpkin Spice Mix Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1½ teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground allspice

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Mix Recipe

Step 1: Combine the Spices

Add the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves and ground allspice to a small mixing bowl.

Whisk or stir everything together thoroughly until the spices are evenly combined and there are no clumps.

Step 2: Store

Transfer the pumpkin spice mix to a clean, dry airtight jar or spice container.

Store in a cool, dry cupboard until you’re ready to use it.

Top Tips

• Mix the spices thoroughly to ensure every spoonful has an even flavour.
• Break up any lumps with the back of a spoon before storing.
• Use fresh spices for the best flavour, as older spices lose their strength over time.
• Label the jar with the date so you know when you made it.

Storage

Store your Pumpkin Spice Mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months. While it will still be safe to use after this, the spices will gradually lose their flavour.
