How to Make Pumpkin Pie Spice

No, this is simply a spice blend that is often used to add flavor to pumpkin recipes. Which is why people often think of this as “pumpkin flavor”. (Plain pumpkin actually tastes quite mild.)
Stored in an airtight container or jar, in a dark cool place (like a pantry or spice cabinet), it will keep about 6 months. After that, the spices will lose their potency.
Absolutely! If you’re a big fan of pumpkin, you can easily make a big batch of this spice mix so it’s ready to go. Simply double or triple the recipe, using the same ratio of spices.
This mix is my preferred combo of spices, but you can add others if you like. Some like to add cardamom to their blend.
