How to Make Christmas Pumpkin Spice

How to Make Christmas Pumpkin Spice

Christmas spices are wonderful.. I add cinnamon to my porridge all year round but add extra ginger as well in winter - it's just so warming! Spices add calorie free flavour and have extra health benefits too.. for example cinnamon can help to stabilise blood sugar levels and ginger can even help with feelings of sickness. A lot of recipes that I've been looking at though call for 'pumpkin spice' .. and although this humble spice may be readily available in the USA I for one cannot find it in English Supermarkets! Hence the reason for this quick blog post.. if you like cinnamon then you will love this home-made pumpkin spice recipe..

Cute jar from Hobby Craft...

So.. (now this really is easy).. this is what you'll need and all you have to do is mix all of the ingredients in a bowl or jar.. Et voila.. pumpkin spice!

To make 1 teaspoon of Pumpkin Spice you will need...

1/4 teaspoon of ginger
1/8 teaspoon of allspice
1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon

You can use this spice in my healthy pumpkin muffin recipe, no-bake pumpkin bite recipe and a new recipe that's going live on my blog tomorrow.. hint: it's perfect for Christmas morning!!

 

I love Christmas - can you tell?!
