Pumpkin Spice

  • 3 tbsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp ginger
  • 2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1½ tsp allspice
  • 1½ tsp cloves (opt.)
  • 1 tsp mace (opt.)

The cloves and mace are optional. Some people find cloves overwhelming. Personally, I like both cloves and mace and always use it in my spice mix. I make a batch every Thanksgiving and gift a container full to my daughter who loves to spice her coffee with pumpkin spice. 

Other uses:

  • Use with sugar to spice toast or for streusel topping.
  • Flavour pies, bread, cookies, cakes, sweet potatoes, or squash.
  • Spice oatmeal, yogurt, or latte.

Toast spices before grinding; create moments of forever.

In this recipe, I toast whole allspice berries, cinnamon stick, whole nutmeg, and whole cloves before grinding. I use prepared ground ginger and mace.
