Homemade Pumpkin Spice

Also known as Pumpkin Pie Spice :) Since last year I was trying to either buy it or look up for some recipe for that particular spice.

It’s absolutely nothing fancy mixed together, but yet that comforting smell will surround you. Smell of autumn, warm drink in your hand and cinnamon, cloves, ginger spices all together… hmmm….

I love that… it’s just all together brings that melancholy warm to me.

I was googling different companies and what they had inside and here you go, that’s the recipe to make it at home and use it away to your baking, soups or as simple as coffee or tea or other hot drinks ;)

Ingredients:

1x packet of ground cinnamon (15-20g)

1x teaspoon of ground cloves

1x teaspoon of ground ginger

1/2x teaspoon of cardamom

1 and a bit of teaspoon of ground nutmeg

1/2x teaspoon of ground mixed spice

Pinch of ground black pepper

Whisk it all together and voilà! Ready :)

Keep in the jar and use whenever you wish! Enjoy!

How to Make Pumpkin Puree?

Now guys how to make that amazing goodness that you can convert to so many other goodies?

So simple to make, won’t be delaying you :) Just remember that you can always make some more and just freeze and use when you wish.

Ingredients:

1x eatable pumpkin (size is up to you)

Prepare flat tray, line it with baking paper and leave on a side.

Turn on the oven to 180C degrees.

In the meantime prepare your pumpkin, wash it and then cut a hole in the top and using a soup spoon start taking off the middle (the seeds and the strings only), just to make it all clear with just the best part of the pumpkin.

When that’s done, cut the pumpkin for smaller parts (depending how big it is - for half or for 4 or smaller if you wish). Put on your prepared tray skin down and bake for around 45 - 60mins. The main goal is to make the pumpkin middle as soft as possible So the fork or knife would go into it like into soft butter.

When it’s ready leave it to cool.

Then you should be able to just take the skin with your finger or just a small help of knife, it will be just peeling off.

The flesh part of your cooked pumpkin put into blender and mix for a perfect puree.

Store in fridge for max of 3 days or freeze for whenever your ready.

Enjoy the fun part!
