Now you know how to make pumpkin pie spice at home. This recipe is a tested favorite, but feel free to substitute or add different spices to make it your own (such as allspice). You do not need any special equipment to blend the spices; a stirring spoon and a small bowl should do the trick.

Storage

Storage is very easy; no refrigeration is necessary. Just keep the mix in an airtight container or baggie in a cool, dark cabinet until you need it! Its shelf life should be as long as the spices on your spice rack, which means that you can use it all year round! This can be up to two to three years when stored properly. Another great thing is that if you run out, you can stir up another batch in under 10 minutes.
