The season of pumpkin spice EVERYTHING is upon us!

It’s a season I love, not just for it’s spice blend, but that certainly makes it all the sweeter! The fall harvest is in, and there are a pile of sugar pumpkins begging to be make into treats: pies, loaves, muffins, bars, cookies, and so much more! And what do they all call for? Pumpkin spice!

If you buy the mixture from your grocery store it can be pretty spendy. So I like to mix up a big batch from the mix of individual spices I alread have in my pantry, its far more economical and oh so handy to have it at the ready whenever I have a hankering.

Divided into smaller portions, it also makes a great gift for friends and neighbors, perhaps accompanying a batch pumpkin treats!

Here’s what you’ll need to mix up a batch (of about 10 Tablespoons):

Ingredients:

• 6 Tbsp. ground cinnamon

• 4 tsp. ground ginger

• 4 tsp. ground nutmeg

• 3 tsp.ground allspice

• 3 tsp. ground cloves

1. Mix to blend thoroughly
