What is pumpkin spice seasoning?
Pumpkin spice seasoning typically consists of a blend of the following spices:
1. Cinnamon - The dominant spice, providing warmth and sweetness.
2. Nutmeg - Adds a rich, nutty flavor.
3. Ginger - Ginger has a warm, spicy, and slightly sweet flavor with a hint of citrus. It's known for its sharp, bite and earthy undertones. Fresh ginger is more pungent and zesty, while dried ground ginger is milder and more concentrated in flavor.
4. Cloves - Offers a strong, aromatic, slightly sweet, and bitter note.
5. Allspice - Allspice has a unique flavor that combines elements of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, with a hint of anise and peppery warmth. It's sweet and slightly spicy, making it versatile for both sweet and savory dishes.
How To Make Pumpkin Spice Seasoning
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 teaspoons ground allspice
Instructions
1. Gather Your Ingredients: Assemble all your spices. You can use pre-ground spices for convenience, but for an extra layer of flavor, consider using freshly ground spices.
2. Mix It Up: In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and ground allspice. Stir well until all the spices are thoroughly integrated. This is where you can get creative – adjust the ratios to your taste preferences. If you prefer a spicier blend, add more ginger. Sweeter? Increase the cinnamon.
3. Store It Right: Transfer your freshly made pumpkin spice seasoning to an airtight container. A small glass jar or spice jar works perfectly.
