Jump to recipeThis all-star spice blend is easy to DIY at home! Our recipe combines cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves with a pinch of black pepper for an extra hit of heat that you won’t find in the store-bought stuff.
Test Kitchen Tips:
• Grate your own nutmeg for a major flavor boost! Whole nutmeg can usually be found in the spice aisle next to the pre-ground options.
• Our secret ingredient, black pepper, makes this mix a great addition to savory foods as well as sweet (looking at you, spiced nuts!). Sprinkle it on top of butternut squash, carrot soup or even popcorn.
• Add a little extra complexity with a pinch of cardamom— a little goes a long way!
