Homemade Pumpkin Spice Mix

September 22, 2014 By Phillip @ SouthernFATTY.com 5 Comments

Homemade Pumpkin Spice Blend

 

Until now, I’ve managed to avoid the insane addiction to everything PS [that’s what the kids call pumpkin spice these days… you’re welcome]. I’ve just never been crazy about pumpkin pie, pumpkin rolls, or even the ever-so-popular pumpkin spiced latte. I know.. I know.

 

In the spirit of the quickly approaching season, I decided to give a homemade version a go. Turns out, I may enjoy Homemade Pumpkin Spice after all!

 

Ground Cinnamon Sticks for Pumpkin Spice Mix

 

I think the reason that this spice blend turned out so well was the pure freshness of the ingredients. It’s like comparing a styrofoam pumpkin with a little flickering LED light to a hand-carved jack-o-lantern with an eerie candle on the front porch. Homemade, freshly ground and grated spices make all the difference in the world with this!

 

[The grater pictured above is a Microplane. The best tool to have for fine grating, by far.]

 

Once you mix this up, you will be making punkin’ everything. It’s so fresh and delicious that you may will end up opening your very own drive-thru in your garage to serve the morning commuters. (6.25% Royalties, please.)

 

Pumpkin Spice Mix

 

I loaded up on whole spices at a local international market. These are great places to get excellent, whole and dried spices at a ridiculously cheap price. The only problem(?) is that I have to now find a million uses for the massive container of cinnamon sticks that I now have. Pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls, anyone? Be sure you all let me know what your favorite PS use is so I can try them out!

 

[Stay tuned for more freshly-ground cinnamon recipes in the near leaf-falling future!]

    I mix pumpkin spice into my regular pancake batter in the fall. The combo with maple syrup and butter is pretty stellar.
