What You’ll Need

Making this pumpkin spice recipe is so simple, and only requires a few items and ingredients.

Equipment

• 1 Pint Mason Jar or similar sized container
• Measuring spoons
• 1 Small bowl
• Whisk or fork to break up any clumps
• Canning funnel (optional) to prevent spilling when adding to your jar.

• 2 tsp ground allspice
• 1 tsp ground ginger

How to Store this Pumpkin Spice

The combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and allspice creates a symphony of flavors that just scream autumn. This blend stores nicely in a mason jar for the same length your spices would store on their own.

I like to check the labels of my spices and mark on my jar the earliest date that my spices would pass their “best by” date. For example, if my cinnamon has a best by date of January 2025 and my nutmeg has a best by date of July of the same year, I will put the January date on my blend as my own “best by date”.
