    What is Pumpkin Spice?

    Pumpkin pie spice is a blend of warm and aromatic spices usually used to flavor pumpkin pie, pumpkin desserts, and other autumn recipes based on pumpkin and other squashes.

    This blend can easily be prepared on the spot or bought ready-made in the shops. It's usually a blend of ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and ground allspice.

    But homemade pumpkin spice has the advantage of being cheaper to prepare at home, can be made in large quantities, and, above all, allows you to create the perfect balance between these warm spices.

    This magical blend of spices is key to giving a special flavor to autumn desserts, pumpkin dishes and Thanksgiving recipes.

    Which Fall spices to choose

    • Cinnamon: This warm and aromatic spice is the more of all spices in balancing flavors and for a sweeter note.
    • Ginger: Ground ginger gives a slightly piquant, spicy note.
    • Nutmeg: Nutmeg enhances baked goods and adds a spicy note with a nutty, woody flavor.
    • Cloves: Ground if you can find them commercially, they give a spicy, warm note.
    • Allspice: Ground allspice has a warm aromatic flavor and is made from the dried berries of the Pimenta dioica tree. As an option, you can make this blend without allspice, as its flavor is very similar to the other spices.
