These pumpkin spice recipe ideas go way beyond pie and the PSL, because when you love it, you love it, and you can’t get enough.
If there is one flavor that reigns supreme during the fall months, it’s got to be pumpkin spice. Pumpkin spice is a blend of ground spices, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg, and used in so many pumpkin-inspired foods. Its namesake has us turn to the famous pumpkin pie, but after a few teaspoons are used up—what else can you do with the rest of the container? Plenty, it turns out!
How to Make Pumpkin Spice

While pumpkin spice blends are easy to come by, you can also make your own pumpkin pie spice by mixing 4 teaspoons cinnamon, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 2 teaspoons ground cloves, and 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg (or mace). Double or triple the basic recipe and store for up to 6 months in an airtight jar. And feel free to tweak the basic formula according to your personal taste.
Now, how to use it all before autumn’s over…
