How to make Pumpkin Spice at home. Also known as mixed spice here in the UK, it takes all of 5 minutes to put together and enjoyed for a long time after.
Mix everything together and store in a spice jar, in a cool, dark place.
Method B
Lightly toast all the whole spices in a small frying pan over medium-low heat for about 1 minute. Stop when you get an unmistakable aroma of the spices wafting up to you. Do not let them burn.
Tip the spices onto a plate and leave them to cool for 10 minutes.
Place all of the toasted whole spices (cinnamon, allspice berries and cloves) into a spice mill and grind to a fine powder.
Mix the freshly ground spices with the freshly grated nutmeg and the ground ginger. Mix thoroughly and store in an airtight container in a cool dark place, along with your other spices.
