Pumpkin Spice Blend

Pre Time: 5 Minutes

 

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground clove
• ¾ teaspoon ground allspice
• Tiny pinch of black pepper (optional, but it is amazing)

Tools & Equipment

• A small funnel
• A small airtight jar or similar for storage (typically a 3-4 fluid ounce glass jar)
• Small mixing bowl
• Whisk
• Measuring spoons
• A label for your jar

Directions

Measure your spices into a small mixing bowl and then whisk them well.  Some spices like ground ginger can clump easily so a vigorous whisking is recommended.

Once well blended, pour into your storage jar.  A small funnel can be helpful for doing this.

Don’t forget to label & date your spice mix!  Store the finished mix in a cool dry place, like a cabinet or draw.  This mixture should stay fresh for up to a year.

Tips

Here are a few helpful tips to help you ensure you are getting gluten-free spices for your recipes.

 

Avoid Bulk Bins; Spices sold in bulk bins may have been exposed to gluten-containing products through shared scoops or bins.

 

Read Labels Carefully; Look for wheat, barley, rye, and malt on the ingredient list.

 

Check for Certification; Brands that carry a “Certified Gluten-Free” label have undergone rigorous testing to ensure their products meet strict gluten-free standards, typically less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten.
