What is the Difference Between Allspice and Pumpkin Pie Spice?
While delicious on its own, allspice is not enough to fully achieve the flavor needed in pumpkin recipes. Pumpkin pie spice blends allspice with cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, so it has added elements that add much more depth and flavor. This creates that pumpkin flavor in desserts that you know and love!
How Long do Homemade Spices Last?
Your homemade pumpkin pie spice will never go bad. However, it will lose its flavor over time. Your homemade spice can last in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for about six months to one year.
