For the Pumpkin Spice Mix

Did you know that most of the ‘pumpkin’ flavour in pumpkin spice from from the spice?  It’s true.  Pumpkins on their own are a little bland.   It needs some warming TLC from the spice mix to live up to it’s potential!   

This is a quick and easy pumpkin spice blend that you can whip up at home to avoid a trek to the grocery store this fall! 

This recipe creates only a small amount - perfect for a couple of baking projects - but if you are planning on baking up a storm this season, you can easily multiply the recipe.  

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

• 1 tsp ground ginger

• 1 tsp ground nutmeg

• 1 tsp ground allspice or cloves

Just mix these together!
