WHAT DOES THIS HOMEMADE PUMPKIN PIE SPICE TASTE LIKE?
Pumpkin Pie Spice has a great, bold flavor, and a little can go a long way. You will taste the cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg all at once. It has a slight hint of spice to it (hence the name) thanks to the ginger and nutmeg. It is best used in sweet recipes.
Absolutely! I like to have a jar of this pumpkin spice mix and all sorts of homemade seasonings on hand for whenever the craving strikes.
