Why make your own pumpkin spice mix
- If like myself, you basically have no choice because you will not find pre-packaged pumpkin spice mix on the shelves of your local supermarket.
- If you already have on hand all the spices to make this mix.
- If you hate that commercial mixes contain cloves or mace or (insert) a particular spice you do not care for. When you make your own, just leave it out. Personalize the blend to suit your taste or recipe.
- If you can never use up a large jar of pumpkin spice mix before it goes stale.

I started out of necessity because I can’t find any pre made spices like this in the UK, but I’m not longer looking back. It’s so easy to do and my kitchen ends up smelling amazing – it’s a win win! By the way, I really like your little wooden spice scoop – so cute!
Thanks Sarah! I often get upset when I can’t find stuff like this here in Spain but in the end I think it’s a real blessing to learn how to make them from scratch.. :) That little scoop came with me from Budapest. Got it at one of the markets there.
Cute idea! I will definitely be making this for gifts :) Pinning!
Thanks Sagan! Hope your friends will like it.
