What is homemade pumpkin pie spice?

It is an American spice mix used in pumpkin pie. It is a blend of five different spices mixed, making this a signature spice of sorts. Cookbooks dating back in the 1890s have references of pumpkin pie spice. Due to its popularity, it is now available ready-mixed by several companies, one of which you’ll find here.

What is in pumpkin pie spice?

Pumpkin pie spice consists of five different ingredients, and they are:

  • Cinnamon – a warm spice used for flavoring sweet and savory dishes. It’s also known for its aromatic properties and used in candles, potpourri, and many other things.
  • Nutmeg – a warm, slightly sweet spice used in many baked goods, potatoes, meats, vegetables, and even beverages like eggnog.
  • Ginger – widely used as a spice and for medicinal purposes
  • Allspice – used in many different dishes, but in the United States, it’s used mostly in desserts
  • Cloves – another warm and strong aromatic spice used in sweet and savory dishes and beverages

When combined, these spices create a warm and delicious spice that is also pleasantly aromatic. Therefore, it is used as flavorings and even as a fragrant – like candles.
