How to make Pumpkin Pie Spice Recipe
Gather up the 4 spices needed, put them into a bowl, and stir together.
Store any unused pumpkin pie spice in an air-tight container. I like to use small mason jars (jelly jars).
Tips
- Store in a sealed container in a cool dry place like the pantry. Keep for up to 2 months.
- If you like cinnamon to not be as bold in the mixture, simply reduce it until you find the right ratio to fit your preferences.
- Use quality spices for this recipe in order to get the best outcome. Cheaper spices tend to be lacking in flavor. This results in a weak spice mixture.
- You can easily double this recipe, or increase it as much as needed.
- If you would like, you can add cloves to the mixture. Not everyone likes them, so I suggest only adding cloves if you know for sure you already like them. ½ teaspoon should be plenty for this specific mixture.
