Recently I've been thinking about fall-themed recipes and projects that I could include in my BLOGtober series, Time for Fall. In addition to being fall-themed, I wanted the posts to also be useful. So, after some thought I thought you might like to see a review of a DIY pumpkin spice mix. I found the recipe here, but to be honest, you can find similar ones all over the web.
Here's the recipe:
Pumpkin Pie Spice
Ingredients:
1/3 cup cinnamon
1 tablespoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons allspice

So my opinion? 4/5 stars. I'm not sure what it was, because although this was good it was not quite perfect. When I make pumpkin pie I skip the allspice and cloves. Maybe that was it. Either way, it was good, but I may look for another mix next time around. And I will certainly use what I have.
Stay tuned for Nice and Spicy Soap and Pumpkin Spice Play Dough, both featuring this warm fall blend!
My very not pretty, not blog-friendly picture of the old cinnamon container I used to store my Pumpkin Pie Spice. Sometimes you just have to use what you have on hand. No fancy labels or jars, just an old plastic container and a sharpie!
Do you have any favorite homemade spice mixes? This taco seasoning is my favorite of all time. I use it often. It saves me money and I like it much better than store-bought mixes.
As a reminder, I'm taking part in the Ultimate Blog Challenge!

Awesome! Never thought about making my own pumpkin pie spice mix and storing it like this. I add cinnamon and nutmeg to my coffee often - I should try the pumpkin pie spice mix. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea with the coffee. You should definitely try it. Let me know how it goes if you do!
DeleteI never would have thought of mixing my own! Saving this for future reference!!!!
