Small Batch Pumpkin Pie Spice
This small batch pumpkin pie spice is a warm, fragrant blend you make from scratch in 5 minutes, sized just right for a single serving pumpkin pie and other small pumpkin recipes.
Servings: 8 teaspoons
Ingredients
- 1 ½ tablespoons ground cinnamon
- ½ tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Add all of the ground spices to a small bowl.
- Whisk the spices together for about 30 seconds, breaking up any clumps of ginger, until the blend is even in color.
- Spoon the pumpkin pie spice into a small airtight jar and store it in a cool, dry place.
Notes
Use fresh spices for the strongest flavor. Ground spices fade over time, so a blend made from older jars tastes weaker. If yours have been open a year or more, replace them before mixing.
Whisk until the color is even. Ground ginger and cinnamon clump easily. Whisk well so the spices are fully combined and the blend looks uniform, with no streaks.
For extra aroma, grate fresh nutmeg. Ground nutmeg from a jar works well here. If you have a whole nutmeg on hand, grating it fresh gives the blend a little more fragrance.
Adjust the ratio to taste. Add more cinnamon for a stronger cinnamon flavor, or more ginger and cloves for a warmer, spicier blend. Give it a smell before you store it and tweak from there.
