Pumpkin Pie SpiceThis easy-to-make homemade pumpkin spice is a flavourful blend of spices that can be used for your pumpkin pies and other recipes. For example, sweet potato soup, cookies, puddings, cakes and basically all your desserts.
Ingredients if using whole spices: (makes about 5 tbsp)3-4 inch piece of cinnamon stick1 tbsp ground ginger 4 tsp allspice berries 1 tbsp caraway seeds (optional) 2 tsp grated nutmeg 2 tsp whole cloves tbsp = tablespoon Directions:
That's it!
Store in an airtight container out of direct sunlight. Use within 3 months. Note: Note: I recommend dry toasting the cumin, cloves, peppercorns and coriander before grinding. This really enhances their flavours and aromas! See below for tips on toasting and grinding spices.

How to Toast and GrindDry 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. Click Here for step-by-step info and photos on this recommended technique.
