Timesaving and Best Tips

• These make a great gift idea – make several batches and put them into little containers. Wrap with a ribbon and these are so perfect for neighbors and friends.  
• Choose quality spices: Use high-quality spices for the best flavor. Freshly ground spices are preferable, but if you’re using pre-ground ones, make sure they are not too old, as spices lose their potency over time.
• Use a spice grinder: If you’re using whole spices, invest in a good spice grinder or a coffee grinder dedicated to grinding spices. Grinding the spices yourself just before using them ensures a more potent and flavorful blend.
• Store your homemade pumpkin pie spice in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Also, don’t forget to add a label and date.
