Making your own homemade pumpkin pie spice is very simple and so much cheaper than buying it premixed.
I am so excited that September is here! I get a little giddy when I wake up in the morning and the air is crisp and cool.
HOMEMADE PUMPKIN PIE SPICE
I couldn’t wait to put the Fall Wreath that my daughter made last year on the front door yesterday. I saw that all the pretty mums are were at the nursery waiting for me to line the on the front porch steps with. And I absolutely love the smell of my favorite spiced pumpkin candle burning in the kitchen!
I am getting ready to go into full pumpkin food making mode. Why is it that I don’t cook or eat anything pumpkin until September? And once Thanksgiving passes poof, no more pumpkin eating. I really should change that!
I decided that I would make my own homemade pumpkin spice this year since a lot of recipes call for it. It’s very easy to make and much less expensive than buying it premade. You probably have all the ingredients right in your cabinet too.
So go ahead, make your own too and use it in all your pumpkin recipes.
I have several new recipes coming soon that I will have sharing over the next few weeks. Stay tuned!

I hate to spend money on all those pre-made spice blends, so this is perfect. Now if the weather here in Mississippi would cooperate, I could really dive in to fall!
Sherri says
I know! We are having a very usually hot September. Not liking it very much.

So great that someone finally explained what’s in Pumpkin Spice! As a person who’s never been to America I’ve always wondered … and assumed it had pumpkin in it. Yum!

Oh, yes! I’m getting ready for the pumpkin fare myself. Every. single. year. I mix up all of the various spices in pumpkin recipes. NO MORE! I’m whisking up a batch of this for this year and saving a pile of time. Thanks for sharing. Pinning.

Sherri….It’s time for some pumpkin! Thank you for the spice recipe and for sharing it with Monday’s Musings readers. Have a great week. 🙂

Thanks for the pumpkin spice recipe. I could never use the premade mix because I am allergic to ginger. Now I will make my own, leaving out the ginger.
