Most of my pumpkin recipes also have in them pumpkin spice. This is something readily available in some countries and is basically a mix of yummy spices that set off the pumpkin taste really well! I had a bit of trouble finding it ready made in the U.K. and so I decided to make my own. Now, I make a big jar of it and use it whenever I use pumpkin! My house is currently filled with pumpkins after a recent trip to PYO Pumpkins, check out my vlog here!
I’ve used it in several of my seasonal recipes including Pumpkin Spice Slice, Pumpkin Macarons and of course, Pumpkin Pie. Follow the recipe below and check out the video on how to make it at home!
Pumpkin Spice
- 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons nutmeg
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground mixed spice
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cloves
Mix well. Keep in a jar and use as and when needed.
