I just love fall in New England! it's my absolute favorite season. Hoodies, cider donuts, going to the pumpkin patch. Everywhere you look, there's pumpkin spice flavored versions of everything. Pumpkin Pie Spice is a super easy thing to make at home, it's just a few ingredients and a couple minutes to put it together.
This recipe from Mary D. and Taste of Home is perfect! I keep whole versions of cloves, sliced dried ginger, and nutmeg on hand and grate them as needed. Uses for pumpkin pie spice are endless now. You can add some to your coffee grounds before brewing. Add it to your glaze when you're icing cookies. Make some spiced nuts or marshmallow cereal treats. Of course, it's great for pumpkin pie too!

ReplyDeleteThat sounds amazing!
DeleteI love pumpkin pie spice in EVERY SINGLE recipe ...seriously I do use it a lot in scones, cookies, pastry and cream cheese. Today I'm using it in a French pastry with whipped cream. Needless to say that pumpkin pie ( I use sweet potatoes ) too
ReplyDeleteOh, mixing it with cream cheese is brilliant, thank you!
DeleteI really should start mixing my own spices like this! I love pumpkin pie spice in all of the pumpkiny things, but it also makes things like coffee cakes and cinnamon buns a bit more interesting!
ReplyDeleteBoth of those sound great to me!
