Homemade Mixed Spice

If you enjoy making your own puddings and desserts then making a homemade mixed spice is something worth doing. A super quick and easy mix to make, it uses a combination of a few warming spices that will add fab flavours and mouthwatering aromas to your cooking.

Makes about 5 tbsp

3 inch piece cinnamon stick
2 tbsp coriander seeds
4 tsp allspice berries
2 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp caraway seeds (optional)
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp whole cloves

tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon

Directions:

  • Break up the cinnamon stick into smallish pieces

  • Grind these cinnamon pieces along with the cloves, coriander, allspice and, if using, the caraway seeds

  • Sieve into a bowl

  • Finally, stir in the nutmeg and ginger powders
That's all there is to it!

Store in an airtight container out of direct sunlight. Use within 3 months.

Note: You could dry toast the coriander, cloves and allspice berries for a few minutes prior to grinding for even more flavour.

How to Toast and Grind

Dry toasting and grinding spices is the key to getting the most flavour out of your ingredients and into your home cooking...

Step 1: Add your whole spices to a dry pan over a low to medium heat and whilst stirring or shaking the pan, lightly toast them for a few minutes. When you can really smell the aromas and they start to darken, they're ready.

Step 2: Let them cool and then grind.

Step 3: For a finer blend, put them through a sieve before combining with any ground ingredients and herbs.
