Pumpkin Spice Blend
Ensure that the spices you're using are as fresh as possible. When it comes to nutmeg, I always grate whole nutmeg as needed, as it tends to lose its potency quickly. This recipe makes enough to fill a 125-ml mason jar.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Servings 1 jar (1/2 cup or 125 mL)
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp ground ginger
- 1 tbsp finely grated nutmeg (see Note)
- 3/4 tsp ground cloves
How To Make This Recipe
-
Place all the spices into a small bowl and blend well, then decant into the mason jar. Store in a cool, dry place.
Recipe Notes
While I purchase my cinnamon, ginger and cloves pre-ground, I always buy whole nutmeg and grate them on a fine grater as needed. Nutmeg can lose its freshness more quickly than many other spices, so this ensures optimal flavour and aroma.
