This pumpkin pie spice blend is so delicious. It’s so easy to make and much cheaper than buying at the store! It’s perfectly balanced with not too much nutmeg or cloves, and it’s just heavenly in pumpkin and fall recipes. Easy to make in larger quantities.

How To Make It

What’s in Pumpkin Pie Spice, Exactly?

Pumpkin pie spice is a traditional American spice mix that is used as an ingredient for pumpkin pies. It has be come synonymous with all things fall and is commonly used in everything from coffee, to cheesecake to bread. The ingredients in this spice blend are:

  • cinnamon  
  • nutmeg 
  • ginger 
  • cloves 

How To Store It

To prolong the life of this pumpkin pie spice mix, it should be stored in airtight containers in a cool and dry place – either a kitchen cupboard or pantry. I like using glass jars like these, so that you can easily see what’s in them.

How long does it stay fresh?

Make sure that you are using fresh spices when you make your blend. If stored properly, it will keep for up to 6 months. Before using the blend, check that it isn’t stale and that it still has a strong aroma.

Chef’s Tips

  • The recipe below makes enough for two teaspoons of the blend, it’s easy to double it to make a bigger batch that will last all fall long!
  • To check if your spice is stale, sprinkle a little in the palm of your hand, rub and smell. The aroma should be strong.
  • Store the spice bland in an air tight container like this.

    Wow! Thank you for this recipe. I’ve always been making my own spice mix for pumpkin pies. But I never store it, I just make a small portion just before baking.
