PUMPKIN PIE SPICE
Quite some time ago, I was doing some fall baking. My recipe called for pumpkin pie spice, so I dutifully went to the store and bought pumpkin pie spice.
Of course, when I was in the midst of baking I noticed that pumpkin pie spice smelled a lot like some of the other spices I used regularly.
I instantly wondered what is in pumpkin pie spice?
When I looked at the label, I saw cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice. Hmmm… I had all of those things on hand already.
Why, then, would I need to buy pumpkin pie spice if I already had all of the spices in my pantry? Why indeed.
It is crazy to think I have been spending several dollars for a little tiny bottle of Pumpkin Pie Spice that hardly lasts any time at all! I can make so much of this Pumpkin Pie Spice for just a fraction of the cost.
We are going to save tons on our Fall baking. I love all things pumpkin so I see lots of baking this year.
